Just because concerts are cancelled doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy live music. We recommend following the hashtag #LiveFromHome, started by musician Chris Thile, encouraging musicians to post home performances. Performances by Chris Thile, Norah Jones and Mandolin Orange have been favorites.

The iconic Tiny Desk Concert series also brought us this social distanced edition, featuring Soccer Mommy performing from her bedroom. Check out NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concerts playlist on YouTube for more.

Stilling your mind to absorb a novel takes a little more effort these days, but isn’t immersing yourself in another world worth it? For total immersion, try Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay or Donna Tart’s The Goldfinch.

“Social distancing” is taken to a whole new level in Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, in which the nameless protagonist decides to take a year long break from reality and sleep for a year. While we don’t recommend immersing yourself in a year long slumber, we do recommend taking a break from the news, work, or whatever it may be—and perhaps immerse yourself into this compelling novel instead.

Our team has been playing a lot of board games in the evenings and over the weekends to keep ourselves occupied with something that isn’t on a screen. Highlights include Qwirkle, Fleet and War of the Ring (this one is weekend-only, it takes several hours).

In the mood for a board game that doesn’t pit player against player? Try Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters, which brings players together to defeat an ever-expanding hoard of ghosts. Joining forces to defeat a common enemy feels good right now.

Cooking is fun, especially when you have time to try out new recipes! Basically, from Bon Appetit, has the most beautiful Instagram feed that we love to find new treats on. The best part is their step by step video instructions—anyone can do it! (We recommend the lemon pound cake).

Looking for something a little more savory? Try this enchilada bake recipe and customize it to your liking!
