Lock it down.
We’re going nowhere and doing nothing for the foreseeable future. No sports, no school, no concerts, but a lot of free time around the house and in our neighborhoods, so long as we practice appropriate social distancing and wash our hands.
If you’re at a loss and wondering what to do with your free time, I’ve compiled a list of 50 ideas that can hopefully help:
- talk to your spouse
- play with your children
- call your parents on the phone
- clean up around the house
- pick up trash in the neighborhood
- go outside and play sports with other people, throw a football, toss a baseball, etc
- take the dog to the park (dogs can’t get Coronavirus)
- exercise
- organize your email inbox
- gather unwanted clothes to donate to Goodwill or local thrift store
- read a book
- read CrossingBroad.com
- play a sports video game like Madden or FIFA
- listen to a podcast
- sweep your front porch
- ask neighbors how they’re doing and check on elderly folks in the area
- waste your time on the hellhole known as “Twitter”
- argue about politics on Facebook
- take an Instagram selfie
- record a TikTok video
- update your Linkedin profile and resume
- sleep
- shred old paperwork you don’t need
- meditate and/or do yoga moves
- play a musical instrument, draw a picture, or do something creative
- call 94 WIP or 97.5 the Fanatic and share a sports opinion
- watch old games on ESPN Classic
- argue with co workers on Slack
- compile a list
- do your taxes
- send story ideas to local writers (kevin@crossingbroad.com)
- look through those photo albums you told yourself you’d definitely look through and never have
- take all of the pictures and videos off your phone and put them on your laptop or desktop
- watch all those videos you filmed at concerts that you said you’d go back and watch only to realize the audio quality is terrible and you weren’t really that close
- Netflix, Hulu, etc
- plant a tree
- identify things to sell and put them up on Ebay or Craigslist
- volunteer your time
- cook dinner for the family
- get absolutely wasted
- answer your 10,000 unread text messages
- delete apps on your phone you aren’t using
- go through your bank statements and see where you can save money
- manscape
- watch old concerts on Youtube (starting with Live Aid 1985 in Philadelphia)
- go to the grocery store and buy all of the toilet paper, then hoard it
- play a board game
- Check out the online offerings of your library. Most offer free digital downloads of books, movies, comic books, etc.
- reinstall Diablo 2 and play with friends (I’ll be online later tonight)
- write shitty blog posts
I have given you 50 things to do. No excuses now. The world is yours.

Heard the woke 97.5 hosts siding with the cop sh00yter
We can always listen to Sonny Hill tell stories from over 60 years ago and how much everyone Loves & Respects Him.
Or listen to the Cuz proudly remind you of when he was a Chicago sports reporter, who covered the Bulls and talked to Michael Jordan daily.
I will provide a few Twitter meltdowns this weekend.
My horrendous news conference makes me look even less qualified to lead.
I will blame the Federal Reserve for intentionally crashing the stock market.
I will hint at starting a war.
I will misspell several words.
It should be a good read. Enjoy.
No sports = no site traffic = dead site
Therefore number 51 on the list- Learn to code
