As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, it's essential to take necessary precautions to stay safe and healthy at home. According to health experts, the coronavirus can be easily contracted by being in contact with someone who has the virus, and the transmission is normally through droplets especially when one sneezes or coughs.

When the droplets get in contact with M.E.N (mouth, eyes, and nose), you are likely to get infected. To avoid this, the government and health experts have advised Kenyans to stay at home and reduce contact with other people and to exercise social distancing.

However, staying at home can be challenging, especially for those who are used to a busy schedule. To make your lifestyle easy and active while at home, follow these simple steps:

1. Start Your Day Fresh

Begin your day by waking up, taking a shower, and getting dressed. This will help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle the day.

2. Set Up a Productive Workspace

Designate a specific area of your home as a workspace where you can focus on your tasks and activities. Make it comfortable and cozy to boost your productivity.

3. Take Care of Your Physical Needs

Staying at home doesn't mean you should neglect your physical needs. Take breaks to get a snack or drink, and make sure to eat nutritious food to maintain your energy levels.

4. Plan Your Day

If you're a planner, take some time to write down your tasks and activities for the day. This will help you stay organized and focused.

5. Spend Quality Time with Family

Staying at home is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your family, especially if you have young children. Create a schedule for them and engage in activities that promote learning and fun.

6. Prioritize Your Health

Don't forget to take care of your physical and mental health while staying at home. Take breaks to stretch, move around, and get some fresh air.

7. Take Breaks and Rest

Finally, don't forget to take breaks and rest when you need to. A short nap or a relaxing activity can help you recharge and maintain your productivity.
