[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?
