You can watch through the next series of lessons in whatever course you are currently working through. This will give you an idea of what you will be working on next.

You can use a fretboard trainer app to memorize notes on the fretboard.

You do ear training for intervals & chords.

You can listen to songs that you know how to play to remind yourself what the chord changes, melodies & song sections sound like to mentally reinforce that knowledge.

You can listen to songs that you want to learn in the future with the goal of memorizing the sound of the changes & parts so the overall structure or song form will be easier to recall when you start to learn how to play it.

I share & understand your concern over missing playing time. It's good that you are aware of & conscientious about it! But it's only a week & your fingers will get back to work just fine when you start practicing again. :)

Hope that helps!
