Sure – most of us have things that we do daily. Things that take up our day but there are also times in which you are bored and want something to do.
For a lot of us, we have had to spend more time at home and that can often lead to boredom. I know recently I have been feeling a bit bored with my new “normal” – I have a pretty set routine and I tend to want to do something else so I thought about some things to do when I’m bored at home. Per usual I thought it would be cool to share it with y’all in case one (or more) of these things sounds like something you would be interested in.
Here are 7 things to do when you’re bored at home.
- Start a garden: This is something that a lot of people have been doing lately and I think it is such a great idea. Whether you start growing vegetables or just want to be a plant mom/dad, this gives you something to do nearly daily that you can be proud of the end product.
- Start on that project: Whether it is home repairs or writing that great novel – it is important to START. Take some time out to prepare yourself for it and then just do it!
- Binge watch that tv show you’ve been putting off: I’m sure there is at least one tv show that you have recorded on your DVR or is available on Netflix or Prime Video for you to check out.
- Learn something new: Whether you take a paid course, read books or find a free online retreat, find something that you have wanted to learn about and dive right in.
- Pamper yourself: When you have nothing important to do but you want to feel good and maybe relax do some self-care. Here are some ideas.
- Update your to do list: This could mean going through your to do list, paper lists, online calendar (or paper one) and organize it. Move things around. Cross things out. Add things. Whatever it takes to make you more productive.
- Contact a friend or family member: Shoot a text out to check on someone, give someone a call, send out an email or write a letter/send a card to let the important people in your life know that you care, love them and/or are thinking about them. We have so many options when it comes to contacting people, use the extra time you may have to take advantage of it.
