The following 21 days is a great opportunity to develop yourself, your family, or give back to others. Here are some practical ideas that you can do during the lockdown which may benefit you in the long run. 1) Free online courses or skills There's various FREE online resources available. I intend to sharpen my cooking skills and feed my interest in business in the weeks to come. For the younger crowd or those young at heart; consider some new dance moves or workout ideas on TikTok or Youtube. If you want to develop your current skills, explore Coursera, EdX, and Open University. They are all FREE and linked to credible training institutes. There are over 2500 courses compiled by Universities like YALE and Stanford. ![]() I have introduced some online services that you might find a worthwhile future investment. These include:
Refer to my blog on career disposition to destination to find out more on this. If you're interest in the services above, click here. 2) Develop your relationships This is a great time to strengthen your family relationships at home, online, or by phone. At home you could have more quality time by playing board games or cards together. Also, it is a good time to teach someone a new skill, like cooking, cleaning or gardening. ![]() Make a habit of checking in with loved ones (online or by phone). I'll be in contact with one of my good friends in Eastbourne (England) and nearby in Pretoria (South Africa). I've heard on radio of a family having weekly dinner parties on Skype (download Skype here). The one part of the family is in South Africa and the other in England. I'll also continue to ask my brother for help over the phone with some practical work around the house. Why not teach or ask someone to teach you a new skill online or over the phone? Also, I have introduced online services to develop relationships between family members. This will include an online personality assessment and a 50-minute online session for R550.

It might take a while to figure out how these sites work, but once you get going, it is a pure joy. Listen to audio books online, for FREE! Audible has given access to their website for free in the lockdown time. I commend the Audible team for this great initiative; click here. Also refer to other resources: You can also consider writing in a journal. Research shows various benefits of journal writing. Of course, this is not a complete list, but a starting point. Please add some of your own ideas in the comment section below.
