You're probably tired of spending the Quarantine lockdown shifting between the living room couch, bed and kitchen for the past few weeks. Most of it has involved working at your laptop or watching TV so your mind is definitely exhausted of the screens you're keeping on switching between. How about spending your time more productively then? We aren't only referring to cooking, cleaning and organising here. Picking up a musical instrument could be the best thing you could do for yourself during the lockdown.
