For instance, instead of carrying two phones, some prefer to use both their work and personal lines on a single device. However, this can be frustrating if you're planning on using WhatsApp for both numbers on the same phone, as this isn't traditionally possible.

Lose yourself in nature while staying indoors

Every one of us is dealing with their quarantine boredom in a different way. Some have taken on cooking or gardening, some are still finding ways to get out and exercise away from people, many are resorting to video calls to stay in touch with their friends and family, and others have picked up neglected hobbies like wood-work and knitting.
