If you're stuck at home and looking for new ways to make the most of your time, here are some emerging Substacks that might be perfect for you:

Cooking at home: Check out Sam Koppelman's "Cooking in Quarantine," where top chefs share creative recipes using pantry staples. Also, Debbie Koenig's "The Family Plan" adapts meal plans to quarantine life, making family meals easier.

Working from home: Andrew Stromme's "The WFH Times" offers a daily dose of therapy and practical tips for adjusting to a new work routine. Bill Murphy's "Working From Home" newsletter helps you develop good habits and stay productive in your remote work setup.

Exercising from home: Stay active with MP FITT's weekly workout routines adapted for home and outdoor workouts. If you're into running, join "Half Marathons," a community for runners of all levels.

Bored at home: Combat cabin fever with "Sleepathome Camp," which offers daily fun activities, including family-friendly crafts and dance parties. For some remote-friendly social time, consider joining Walt Hickey's Book Club or starting your own book club on Substack.

Remember, we're all in this together, and now's a great time to explore new hobbies, write, or connect with others remotely. If you have any ideas for themed pop-up Substacks you'd love to see, share them in the comments below. Stay strong and take care!

Thanks for all the information! I especially enjoyed "What to Read While Stuck At Home."

I also have a new substack filled mostly with short speculative stories that can be read anywhere, in one short sitting. The newsletter is titled "Speculative Encounters" and has only been up for less than three weeks: https://specstories.substack.com/
