Today we are joined by Mr. Yabatan, a popular video content creator and comedian who posts videos about Japanese culture to the world.

Now that I can’t go outside I have to shoot videos at home.

あつ森やりすぎちゃったら… 🌳 When you play too much Animal Crossing ㅤ ㅤ #mryabatan #ミスターヤバタン #あつ森 #animalcrossing #stayhome #おうち時間

ミスターヤバタン(@mr_yabatan)がシェアした投稿 – 2020年 4月月14日午前4時05分PDT

I usually have a certain pattern for my videos but now that I have to shoot at home I see that there’s so many different topics and things I can make videos about. It’s fun!

2: Daily exercise is fundamental!

Usually I have a fixed plan from the morning until evening which means I have routines for what I do at a certain time. Now that I have to stay at home all the time it’s difficult to keep those routines going but I still try my best to follow the same routine as I used to when I could go outside.

That’s why it’s important to exercise even though you are at home. So I always try to do some exercise in the morning. Both strength and stamina.

3: Studying Japanese

In this period we should not meet too many people so I can feel that my Japanese level is going down. That’s why I try to maintain it by studying every day. Actually this time is a good chance to learn a new language!

4: Pals with the computer

My best friend in these times must be my computer! This is where I do all my editing, studying, talking to friends etc. So I am spending most of my time with the computer! That sounds so strange lol.

5: Home Cooking

Before all this happened I spent most of my time outside and not at home so I didn’t cook at all, but now that I need to stay at home I’m cooking every day! I actually remembered that I know how to cook.

Every Friday I make tacos! This is actually a tradition in Norway. We make tacos on Fridays with our families and watch TV together. Norwegian tacos are delicious!

What’s your secret to spending time at home?

Try to follow a routine and do something productive so that it will be worth going to bed at night watching all your favorite TV series.

Please leave a message to those reading this article!

Even though it’s difficult to imagine right now, remember that everything will come to an end, our lives will gradually go back to normal if we just keep staying at home and doing our best to prevent spreading the disease. This is the time for you to plan and prepare for when you get out! Do all the things you usually wouldn’t have the time doing, like learning an instrument or a new language etc. Plan for your new projects and plans and go right into them as soon as things are back to normal! Then you will be stronger than ever and enjoy things a lot more. 頑張ろう！
