Guide to staying home

With the extension of stay-at-home and safer-at-home orders, alleviating boredom and maintaining productivity are daily challenges, especially in rural areas like Tallapoosa and Coosa counties, where life moves at a slower pace than urban areas. Movies topped the list of the most popular hobbies picked up during the coronavirus, followed by reading, crafting and cooking, as well as others. To help you stay engaged and active, we’ve included some projects in this issue of Lake Martin Living magazine, as a guide to keeping life fun and productivity at home.

Because the No. 1 hobby that has been picked up during the pandemic is watching movies, we consulted Movie Man Jeff Langham for a list of flicks to entertain you through the evenings at home. Whether you want to immerse yourself in the best pandemic movies ever made or escape the pandemic through movies with more versatile plots, his picks can be found on page 42.
