To make this list, I thought of things that I personally have been doing as well as things that I would like to do myself. I focused a lot on different things that can be done with technology such as video chatting as well as research and entertainment.
I also focused a lot on activities that one can do from home, because the most important thing we can all do is stay at home. I even found inspiration by looking around my room and thinking of things I could even just do in here. I then thought about different aspects of my house and things I could do there.
I also thought a lot about ways we can better ourselves during this time, like eating right and exercising. In addition to this, I thought about different way that we can get out of the house during this time like going out in nature. I thought about things we could even just do in our own backyards.
It was definitely difficult to come up with 50 ideas. After about the first 15 or 20 I got very stressed thinking about how I was possibly going to write 30 more ideas. I really just thought about things that I personally would do to make a positive change in my lifestyle during this time that I also think other people might like. I also looked at my concept board a lot for inspiration. I tried to think of the overall themes that my board conveyed and think of as many ideas as I could from this.
Picking my top five ideas was actually very difficult for me, because I really like a lot of them and feel they could convey the message from my concept board. I decided to go with video chat friends and family, take an online class, update social media on positive activities you are doing, get a grocery delivery service, and take time for mental health checks. These things focus on both technology as well as finding as many ways as possible to stay home. Another aspect of these ideas is that they encourage a positive attitude and for people to be mindful of how they are doing emotionally. This is extremely important when everything you are doing is from cooped up inside your house. I think these tie well to my concept board because they involve connections, technology, as well as social distancing.
