50+ Things to Do While We're All Social Distancing

These are crazy times but for the good of our communities and cities and neighbors all around us, it’s the best to practice some good ole social distancing! We introverts have been preparing for this our entire lives, and I’m here to give you a bunch of ideas for how to entertain yourself and make the most of this time at home.

Here are some things to do while we’re all social distancing:
