[List] 7 Activities You Can Do When You're Bored

 


There are times when you find yourself bored and puzzled regarding how you can alleviate your boredom. Boredom can strike when you least expect it, and it can become unbearable at times to cope with.

However, I have listed below 7 engaging activities you could do when boredom seeps into your mood.

1. Read a Book


It's as simple as it seems, reading a book of your interest can serve as a classic form of escapism. When you read a book, you can become immersed in another world.

2. Painting


Painting could serve as a fun pastime. You can get creative and let your imagination run wild on the blank canvas.

3. Writing


Writing is another activity that gives you the ability to showcase your creativity or express how you're feeling. Writing a short story, poem, or journal entry are some of the many possibilities that writing presents to you.

4. Drawing


If you're more of a visual person, drawing may be an activity that would appeal more to you. 

5. Visit a Museum


Consider visiting a local museum that's open in your town or city--even if the visit has to be virtual due to the pandemic. Visiting a museum can be an educational and stimulating experience for you. There are typically multiple interesting exhibits and displays found in museums. Of course, if you do choose to visit a museum for an in-person visit, be sure to take the necessary COVID-19 safety precautions. 

6. Window Shopping or Browsing Online


Browsing items from different stores, which you have no intention of buying from might sound like a waste of time. However, when you're browsing items you can take mental notes by surveying the stores' product offerings, prices, and who knows you may even find new stores that you could find yourself frequenting for future purchases. While it's looking likely the COVID-19 pandemic has or will accelerate the retail apocalypse, there are still a good number of retailers and retail stores holding on strong. Naturally, if you do choose to engage in this activity in-person make sure to take the necessary COVID-19 safety measures.

7. Organizing


Do you remember that bookshelf or closet you said you would organize but never had the time to do so? Well, the next time you should find yourself bored at home it will present an excellent opportunity to do some organizing around the house.

Which of these activities do you think you'll try the next time you're bored?

[List] My Top 10 Favorite Saved by the Bell Episodes

  Saved by the Bell (1989) Peter Engel Productions//NBC Productions (NBC) I grew up watching reruns of Saved by the Bell, and I decided to list my top 10 favorite episodes from the show. Therefore, there will be no episodes from Good Morning, Miss Bliss. 10. "Drinking and Driving" This particular episode presented an important message in a manner that didn't come across as preachy and it really resonated. The message presented was loud and clear and so were the potential consequences of drinking and driving. 9. "All in the Mall" I enjoyed all of the hijinks that ensued during this episode. Imagine spending the night at the mall to buy some concert tickets.  8. "The Wicked Stepbrother (Part 2)" Eric was a good foil to Zack and gave him the runaround. Also, it was nice that Lisa was able to have her own serious love interest that lasted for more than one episode.  7. "Fourth of July" I enjoyed the overall premise of this episode. For example, t...

[Opinion] In the Future, it's Going to Become Harder to Book Headlining Talent for the Super Bowl

  Pretty much every Super Bowl Sunday there are 4 things people look forward to the actual game, the commercials, the food, and the Super Bowl Half-Time Show. However, going forward it's going to become increasingly difficult for the NFL to book Headlining talent who's never performed at the Super Bowl before, and here's why: The music industry is not producing Popstars or music Superstars anymore. In the Digital Age of Media, everything's become fractured and decentralized. Right now, the music industry veterans are carrying the industry on their backs.  Old or older music is currently outselling the new or newer music that's being released. There are only a handful of musicians left who've never headlined the Super Bowl that could potentially put on a fantastic show worthy of a Football Stadium. 

[Self-Help] Journaling

  Greetings! I recognize that with all that's occurring in the world right now it's a stressful and anxiety-inducing time of uncertainty. However, people must practice self-care more than ever and take necessary breaks. One way to do that is through journaling. Journaling your own thoughts, concerns, feelings, or experiences often is a therapeutic way to alleviate stress and negative emotions that you have bottled up inside of yourself. It's not good to allow for these types of emotions to stay within you as they can negatively impact and eat away at you over time.  I found it's best to journal at your own leisure others found that it's best to set aside some time each day for journaling. However, you should do what works best for you.  It's quite simple to get started journaling you don't need to buy a fancy journal; a spiral notebook or even a composition notebook can serve as your journal. Therefore, I encourage you to incorporate journaling into your sel...
