The coronavirus has literally changed how we live our lives. You can barely check the tabloids and not find a story about how much this pandemic has affected our everyday lives.
From building hospitals every six days in China to ghosting cities across the world, this has been one of the most daunting months.
Currently, three major cities in Nigeria (Lagos, the economic capital of the country; Abuja, the political capital; and Ogun, the industrial capital) have been placed on compulsory social distancing, with many more states also instituting the lockdown policy.
As a result, business services in the affected states have ground to a halt, and supply chains have become disrupted.
From the closure of event venues and retail stores to the unavailability of repair services, life, as we know it, has been turned on its head and might remain so for weeks to come.
This is a significant change for a lot of people, and surviving these couple of weeks requires learning a different set of skills and all the help you can get.
If you have gotten used to getting up and going out to work as a major part of your life, everyday life might seem a little tricky now since you would be spending so much time indoors.
Here are simple life hacks we have gathered, tested (on ourselves), and deemed valuable in making life easy during this pandemic.

Most stores and supermarkets ran out of hand sanitizers as soon as the World Health Organisation confirmed it was one of the necessary precautionary measures against the coronavirus, so much so that it had to be rationed at chemists in some parts of the world, according to the BBC
So if you ever run out of hand sanitizers, here is a quick way to make one for yourself at home.
All you need is rubbing alcohol, aloe vera gel, and an essential oil, e.g., coconut oil. Mix them and sieve the mixture. Your hand sanitizer is ready and safe for use.

One major thing to do during this period is to always drink water as often as possible. But it might be challenging to keep track of the time and how much water you have taken.
An easy way to do that is to simply time-mark a water bottle.
Draw lines on a bottle of water with a marker pen, and then indicate the time beside each marked level.
The marking will be a reminder for you to drink water, and it can help you achieve your daily water intake requirement during this period.
Have a migraine, and you can’t easily access the pharmacy? No problem at all. Just try this simple hack.
Get a bowl of ice-cold water, put your hands in the water, and begin to gently flex your hands in the water for as long as you can endure. That should fix your migraine or dreadful headache.
Working from home can be a bit tricky; you almost feel you can wake up anytime and can miss your alarm from time to time.
Not to worry, here is a simple hack for beating the snooze.
Place your smartphone in a glass cup to hyper-increase the volume of your wake-up tune. You would definitely get up this time.

Dab apple cider vinegar on your underarm twice a day using a cotton pad, or rub a mixture of lemon juice and water on your underarm once a day.
Need a cold beverage in 15 minutes? Just wrap wet toilet paper around a bottle of drink and place it in the freezer. In about 15 minutes, the drink would be almost completely ice-cold.

Watching a movie and you are tired of leaning your phone onto something where it will eventually fall off after a while? Just use your sunglasses.

Showerheads can get dirty often, and getting them clean without damaging anything can be tedious.
