How are we spending all this time cooped up at home?
Here's how the CNBC tech crew are getting through their days – Computer games, bread making, puzzles, music lessons and basketball drills and more.
Like office workers across much of the U.S., CNBC's reporters, editors and producers just wrapped up their third full week working from home, doing our part to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The news never stops and we spend most of the working day glued to our devices. But in the off hours, we're finding other ways to pass the time productively.

Playing the piano for my kids was one of the things I dreamed about growing up. I'm a pretty good piano player, and I couldn't wait to expose my kids to it. Maybe they'd get inspired and be great piano players. Now I have two sons, four and six. My wife and I have been doing daily "music class" with both kids during quarantine. I play the piano and we all join in the sing-alongs.

One of the unexpected benefits of quarantine life has been that it's forced me to slow down. When I log off for the day, my favorite activities certainly reflect that.
A big one has been cooking, and specifically, pickling. I've been eating a lot of things in bowls – rice, quinoa, spaghetti, lentils – and pickled veggies are a great way to spice things up. I made some pickled cucumbers and have now graduated to jalapenos. It takes about a day to be able to sample the finished product, but luckily I have nothing but time right now.
The other way I've been keeping busy is playing the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
