We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us some tips on how to stay home for a long stretch of time without getting cabin fever. Here are the results:

3. Watch yoga videos on YouTube to help you stay active and flexible.

4. Prepare yourself for alone time by stocking up on entertainment and comfort. That means lots of blankets!

Anthropologie

"The day before, I plan everything out. I'll stock up on books, DVDs, FOOD, and blankets. Also, DARKNESS. I'll be cuddled up watching a rom-com, eating junk food, with like 100,000 blankets on me!" - gabbyisawizard

Get the fuzzy blanket pictured above from Anthropologie for $98 (available in four colors).

5. Use a grocery delivery service like Instacart to make sure you still have access to all the food you need.

Instacart just announced a new feature called "Leave at My Door Delivery" that is exactly as it sounds. You'll receive a photo confirmation once your groceries make it to your front door.

7. Grab a really good book that catches your attention immediately. Nothing passes the time quite like a really engrossing story.

"Really immersive books are always my go-to!! What is immersive really varies for everyone, but I always find a series more so than a standalone because it allows you to follow characters as they grow and develop. I personally recommend the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy but there are tons out there!" - kyliea46da8fc4c

IMO, the best books for passing time are mysteries, fantasy, sci-fi, or any narrative-driven stories. If you need a good page-turner fantasy series, I recommend the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab. It has magic, amazing world-building, and pirates!

8. If you really hate cooking, lean on your microwave to do all the heavy lifting. There are a surprising amount of things you can make with that thing!

12. If you can't go into nature, bring it home with you! Having a houseplant will freshen the air and brighten your day.

13. Use a website like Fitness Blender and watch workout videos to help you keep up your fitness routine. Plus, having some people on the screen can help you feel less isolated.

14. Learn a skill or hobby, like coding or a new language. It'll fill the time and make you feel more productive.

16. Keep a rigid schedule. Maybe now is the time to get super organized and try out bullet journaling?

"Have a daily routine, like get up, get dressed, and then proceed with the day. Make up the bed. Have a schedule of days you do certain things, too. Like Friday night is movie night, or on Thursdays you sweep, mop, and vacuum. Set aside self-care time every day: working out, writing, taking a long bath. Plan for your leisure. Like, 'I am done with work at such and such, so I can sit down and do desirable activity X.' Designate spaces for different activities, so your work and your leisure time are separate in your mind. Try new things if you can: a craft, a recipe, a sex position... It is really easy to just slip into stir-crazy, pajama-clad sloth, so try to be mindful while allowing yourself to refresh." - mrskte1

"I love being home as much as possible! I think the biggest thing is to have some structure. Get up and wash your face, put on real clothes, have real meals at set times. Going on walks is a good idea too; it's a good way to get fresh air and break up your day but still avoid germs (since we are all trying to do that right now). Set up a cozy spot in the sun to read a good book with a cup of tea. Make a schedule to call an old friend or family member a different day of every week. Being home is the best!" - halliecolegrovem

If this sounds like a lot of work, maybe a planner could help! Buy a bullet planner here ($8.64) and learn how to start the process here.

17. Meditate! There are a lot of apps out there like Calm and Headspace ready to help you get started.

18. Play a video game that simply insists that you keep playing it. RPGs and open-world sandbox games are generally good options because they tend to be sliiightly life-consuming. Speaking as someone who has put 100-plus hours into Stardew Valley...you should play Stardew Valley.
