I’ve been doing so much monolog
dalaman lately, so I decided to write after a long time. For future references
it’s raya ke-5 and my family already started Puasa 6 since second Eid coz it’s PKP so there’s nowhere we can go.
While scrubbing the toilet just now, I talked to myself way too much so I
narrow down to one topic which is HOW TO FEEL LESS USELESS AT HOME. This topic
closely related to me in so many ways coz it’s a ‘been there done that’ thing.
I’ve been working from home for past few months now and I’ve been reflecting
myself through this epidemic. Let’s go straight to the topic.
I believe everyone have their own rezeki and my rezeki is
having a job and still staying with my parents. There’s pros and cons but I can’t
feel grateful enough. What you can do if you are an adult and still staying
with your parents?
1.
Make yourself useful at home
Pick one or more chores in the house that
you are the one who in charge of handling them everyday and become good at it at some point. I find scrubbing toilet is therapeutic. There’s daily, weekly
and monthly chores so make sure you do at least one in each category.
2.
Be sensitive
Don’t stuck in your room all day and only out
n about when you are hungry and please use electricity wisely (coz your parents
pay the bills).
3.
Be there for your parents
You are so lucky to be around your parents,
use this time to get to know them better by discovering what can you do for
them everyday.
4.
Take care of yourself
It’s a way to make you feel less useless to
yourself by exercising, learn new skills, having a well schedule daily routine
or pick a new interest. Set achievable goals for yourself.
5.
Declutter
Currently there’s a viral case about
sharing spaces with things in the house or not having your own personal space. Now
is a perfect time to Marie Kondo-ing your space. Help your parents to declutter the whole
house. Imagine we keep on buying stuff but didn’t let anything go so no wonder
we have limited space in our house, don’t you think?
I
shared 5 ideas only coz I don’t wanna sound too goody2. Btw it is excused if
you have to work from home but outside office hour you still can be useful. You
can online gaming or K-Drama all you want but it’s good to have a schedule. Having a daily schedule is actually good for your mental health. I’m sharing
this with the intention of making you feel better while stuck in your house,
actually I’m telling myself too. Have to work does help me obeying my own daily
schedule tho.
