Things To Do While Bored

I can only answer for myself when I say I tend to get bored more often than I should. I get bored at doing the same things over and over again. I’m sure I am not the only that gets bored. So what are some things I can do or anyone can do to get over this boredom?

Start with the obvious. Do some cleaning. I am sure not everyone keeps a spotless house for those of us that don’t then we can start by cleaning our bedrooms. When I get super bored I tend to move the bedroom furniture around and clean up under them as well. I have found so many dust bunnies under the tv stand since I tend to sweep around it.

Clean out your closet. When I mean clean out your closet I mean actually, go through your clothes and take out the ones you no longer wear or can’t wear. You can either donate these items to charity or you can look for sites online where you can sell used clothing. It’s a good way to earn some cash. 

Do your laundry. Yes, I know doing laundry is a boring chore on its own but since you just cleaned your room and cleaned out your closet might as well get this done. The sooner this is done the sooner you can get to the fun part.

Write an article. This is an easy thing to do since your topics are endless. You can always write an article about what topics to write about. You can write about your favorite recipes. You can share tips on how to keep your room clean. This option is always great.

Play a video game. In today’s world, almost everyone plays some type of video game. If not a video game, then play something simple like Farmville or some other Facebook game. My only problem with this is that I get bored playing video games.

If you are female, then paint your nails. Paint each nail in a different color. Add some designs to each nail. While you are at it do your toe nails also. I bet this would be more fun if you had help.

Make a list. Just like this list, I’m making now or you could make a grocery list. Make a to-do list of what you need to get done next week or tomorrow. Make a list of things you want to buy for Christmas. This is also endless.

Do an inventory of your kitchen cupboards. This is another place where a list will come in handy. List everything that you have on hand. So this way when you make grocery list you will know what you already have. 

Clean up your computer. If you are like me and constantly on your computer, I am sure there some files on your computer that you no longer need. Why not get rid of the things that are no longer needed. But make sure you don’t delete anything important. 

Go out for a walk. Walking is not only good for you but it will keep you entertained. Enjoy nature and take in the sights while out for your walk. Look for something new or something different. Take your camera with you and take pictures while you are out. This will give you something to write about also.

New recipes. I love to eat and one of the things I like to do is try new recipes. I get bored eating the same thing over and over again. I love eating foods from different countries and cultures. I think I cook more Mexican and Lebanese foods than I do American. 

A person who claims to be bored really shouldn’t be bored at all since they have so many different things that they can possibly do. If they are bored it’s by choice.
