Cooking To Coding, People Share New Skills They’d Like To Develop During Lockdown

Hello and welcome to the first day of India’s complete coronavirus lockdown. For the next three weeks, we’ll stay indoors and venture out only when it is absolutely necessary (for buying groceries or medicines). And as much as we want to just wrap ourselves into a burrito blanket, we really must use this #GiftOfTime wisely.

Because the lockdown can have some positive side effects as well. We can come out of this quarantine with new skills we never found the time to learn before. From sketching, baking, becoming fluent in French, taking an online guitar class, dancing, painting, coding to hairstyling, there are a ton of resources on the internet to get us started.

When @Oloni posed this question on Twitter, there were some pretty interesting answers.

If you haven’t chosen any skill to develop yet, here’s some inspiration.

Some people say that if we do something every day for 21 days straight, it becomes a habit. We don’t know if that’s true but right now seems to be the best time to test out the theory, don’t you think?
