Fun Things to do when You’re Bored
Tired of streaming the same old movies/ TV shows on Netflix? Finding no joy in surfing the internet, flitting from one social media platform to another? Then it is time to seriously consider new ways to get engaged that are not a drain on your finances.
It can be hard to find ways to stave off boredom, especially when you are trying to wean yourself of social media. Here are a few ways to get you out of your boredom;
1. Take a walk
2. Declutter your space
This can be fun especially if you have not done so in a long time. From seeing old pieces and pictures to finding items you thought were lost, this is one activity that has just positives. When all is done, you have a neater, better-arranged space, and would have burned off a few calories.
3. Organize your mail box
Too many emails? That’s one byproduct of subscribing to a heck load of websites and blogs. This free time you have is perfect for unsubscribing and deleting spam and old messages.
4. Call an old friend
It’s a great opportunity for you to catch up with all the gossips with your best buddy! Call up a friend or a cousin and talk your heart out. After hanging up, I bet, you’d say, “time well spent !”
5. Take a long bath
6. Read a book
You can catch up on your reading list when you are not busy with work. This can be unfinished book or a new one. There are many readers and e-libraries that you can download from if you would rather read a softcopy than a paperback.
7. Figure out the state of your finances
This is a great time to create your budge, track your spending and have a good knowledge of your current and future income. It is also a chance to know how to use up whatever money is left till the next cash inflow.
8. Cook something
Didn’t you want to try out a recipe but ended up ordering it online instead? Never mind, this is the time to actually give it a try. Search for the ingredients, put them all together, and cook!
9. Go through the pictures on your phone
You know, just to catch a glimpse of how the years have gone by. Honestly, this is one of the best things to do!
10. Have a game night
You can invite your best buddies over for a night of games, fun, food and drinks. There are so many games to choose from.
