Covid-19 pandemic which is increasingly becoming and is not yet known certainty cessation causes community activities carried out in their respective homes, but there are still many people who interpret this as leisure time with minimal productivity, and is wasted. Then, how should people interpret the activities at home when the Corona pandemic now?
In the midst of the Corona pandemic that has been protracted for more than 4 months, the decline in direct community mobility to reduce the impact of Covid-19 continues.
Social restrictions (social distancing) of the same type require activities at home to all Indonesian people.
This social restrictions automatically occur in the main activities of the community such as work, learning, and other needs activities. Everything is carried out in their homes by utilizing existing digital platforms.
Despite positive responses, these social restrictions also responded negatively. Many factors require people to do activities outside the home, such as work, especially work in the informal sector. This certainly inhibits activities outside the home in order to continue to meet daily needs, especially if there is no assistance coming.
But ironically, many people actually complain of boredom while on the move at home. I was so bored, many people who broke the rules when the corona outbreak was like traveling, hanging out - crowding, and other agendas that involved crowds of people. Not to mention, negative activities on social media such as hoaxes and fear propaganda.
This is in accordance with the culture of leisure in post-modern society. Where born popular habits that characterize but seem excessive, or not according to needs, and use social media as a media show.
Free Time
The development of world globalization at this time gave birth to a culture of pleasure. Including in Indonesia, tourist culture or pleasure has a very high enthusiasm. This is a result of the use of leisure time.
The trend is to visit the tourist attractions of Puncak, Lembang, Trans Studi Mall, Bali, Ancol, and Pangandaran which are then enshrined and shared on social media by the Iindonesia community.
Not to mention in big cities, the trend of hanging out, drinking coffee, in cafes is mostly done as a popular culture. In fact, it removes the social class barriers of society due to the vague status in the virtual world, anyone can do that. This is an inseparable part of the use of leisure time.
Free time is defined as free time, free time, or a break for daily activities. However, this term is synonymous with the use of spare time that is not in proportion and is usually done by the upper middle class such as the recreation agenda and overconsumption.
Everything Can Be Done at Home
In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, activities at home are mostly interpreted as leisure time without essence. This is evidence of the unfamiliarity of Indonesian people in utilizing productive time at home.
Although, the factor of need for work, inadequate conditions, and other interests also influence the unconventional. What is clear, there are still many of us who take advantage of the momentum of staying at home with activities that are not useful and useless.
Indeed boredom will always descend on everyone, this must be felt by everyone
However, boredom will change with a variety of strategies, one of which is increased stimulation of the comfort of the surrounding environment.
This can be done by utilizing activities at home as much as possible will have a positive impact, spend time with family, worship, exercise, read books, write, study, to play games can be done when a pandemic like now at home.
For families, full activities on child socialization according to stages can be done to the maximum. Maybe before the bustle of work eliminating grip with family and children, now is the time for all of them to be re-conceptualized well.
Home learning activities for students and students must also be made with fun. Maybe it's time to provide opportunities for students and students to reflect and create works according to their passions comfortably and without pressure.
