Books, Brainteasers and Games to Keep You Sharp During Quarantine
Happy week 6 of Quarantine. I really can't believe that we are nearing our second month of this lockdown. Needless to say, we're all getting restless but, staying home is flattening the curve which is the only way we can eventually go back to normal. Aside from work, I have been trying to do more things to keep my mind active and sharp during these trying times. I've listed a couple books, brainteasers and games to keep you sharp during quarantine. If we have to be in quarantine, let's come out of this having something to show for ourselves. Let's keep our minds healthy and active and do our part to stay and keep others safe.
QUARANTINE BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
One of my resolutions this year was to actually read more. Thanks to this unexpected lockdown, I've been able to do just that. Since we all have the time, let's use it to better ourselves. Challenging ourselves to sharpen our brains, while continuing to learn will only benefit us when we’re finally out of quarantine. Below are several books I've either already read or on my list to read. Feel free to comment below or on my IG if you have any additional book recommendations you want to share. Check out my Best Books for 2019 post to see what books I had on my list last year. These books, brainteasers and games are what has been helping me keep me sharp during quarantine.
BRAINTEASERS AND GAMES TO KEEP YOU SHARP DURING QUARANTINE
I'm not much of a "gamer" or puzzle gal, but lately, I've been more open to trying and revisiting things I thought I wasn't a fan of. Last fall, I purchased a mini word search book for Colin and I to do as we traveled to the BVI. Can you guess how many word searches we completed on our way to and from? One - lol. As you can see, I didn't give this word search a fair chance. Yet, I'm pleased to announce that I completed the entire word search book during week three of quarantine and actually enjoyed it - haha. All I'm trying to say is that if you don't think games or puzzles are your thing, give it another try, because you never know what you may end up enjoying until you give it a "real" try. Not to mention, they’re a fun way to pass the time and keep your brain sharp. In addition to the book recommendations above, below are some brainteasers and games you may want to checkout.
