When you don't know what to do, most of the time you'd just surf through to TV with your remote control on one hand and a cup of soda on another. Stop wasting your time and do something else instead!
Here are a few suggestion on what to do when you're bored.
Go On A Walk
The first thing you could do when you don't know what to do is to explore. Go on a walk and look for anything new around you. Or even something familiar viewed from a different angle. Even if you don't feel the need to explore, go on a familiar route and take a second look at anything and try to get the detail. You would be surprise how much things you didn't know. Unless its 3 in the morning. But nothing could stop you tho.
Organize Something
Another good things to do is organize things. Organizing something always gives you a sense of accomplishment. It'll cure your boredom and save you from another task in the future. It doesn’t have to be something big. From the simplest thing like organizing your thoughts to the bigger one, like organizing your stuffs. Creating an organizing list could also helps curing your boredom. Start from the small things!
Read A Book
Enrich your knowledge by reading something, anything. Any book could do. Try to look for every benefit you could get from reading the book. Increasing your knowledge doesn’t always means study. Even reading a comic book could also do the job, like your knowledge in drawing, creating a story line, coloring, and many more. Just different kinds of knowledge.
Call an Old Friend You Haven't Heard From In A While
You'd never know how much your phone call could mean to someone. Try to hit on an old friend. Not only you'll get more friends and connection, you'll also get to keep your friend. Knowing how things are (for most people), the older you get, the lesser friends you have.
Make A Vision Board
Similar to organizing things but try to be a little more specific. Think about what you want to do and list a way on how to do it. Make a list and put them somewhere visible, so you would be reminded of your own visions.
Write in Your Journal
Writing a journal is also one of the ways to cure boredom. Put down things you have done and make a journal about things you are grateful for in the day. You could keep track on things you've done plus, you'd get to read it again to try to remember. It doesn’t have to be everyday, just do it whenever you feel like it.
Plan Your Next Big Vacation
Its okay if you plan a big vacation without any certainty whether or not you'd be able to do it. Its always fun to plan a trip and if you have a really long spare time, you could try to plan trips based on things that happens in your life.
Google Adorable Baby Animal Photos
If all of those things above seems to be tiring to you, you could always google adorable baby animal photos. Just to entertain yourself. Don’t google puppies and kittens, there are many other cuter baby animal you'd wish to pet and hold.
Those are about simple things you could do when you're bored and don't know what to do. You could do those things to get inspired, not to run away from things you have to do.
A quote from the internet about spending time I always like is "A time you enjoy wasting is never wasted". Well if you really think about it, when you enjoy the moment, you'd never waste that moment.
Cheers!
