No matter the time of day, month or year there is always a chance to end up bored. Here are a few ways to pass some of the many hours of normal boredom.

1. Play a game on your phone

There are tons of things to do on smart phones and one thing you can do while you’re bored is to break out a game app. Whether it be a mindless level of Candy Crush or a challenging Brain game like Luminosity there are countless free apps to download and use on your devices.

2. Organize something

That drawer that is full of… whatever or that chair in the corner of your room that has piles of things on top of it now is the perfect time to clean it out and put it wherever it was truly meant to go.

3 .Go for a walk

Going for a walk can do a lot of things. It’s relaxing just strolling through town and taking in the scenery. Its exercise which is super helpful for anyone of any age. It can jog your memory of an important task or event you may be forgetting. It’s a way for us to unplug from our typical devices and get out into the world and experience life.

4. Go to the gym

Speaking of exercise from walking… why don’t you go to the gym! If you are truly bored then why not take the time to get into shape or just start to live an over all healthier lifestyle.

5. Clean something

Whether it be the pile of dirty dishes in the sink, the loads of laundry that you have yet to do (because who wants to do laundry) or that hard to reach vent that has inches of dust on it tackle a cleaning project the next time you get bored.

6. Make To-Do lists

If you don’t have a ton of time to tackle different projects or maybe you’re bored out of the house but happen to be stuck at work or a meeting then you can make lists. Think of anything you need to do like picking up food or cleaning the bathroom and make a list. Anything you want to do like drink more water or take more time to relax write it down. People are more likely to do something if it is written down.

7. Re-watch classic TV shows

My personal favorite to go back and watch is Friends but if you have 30 minutes to an hour on your hands sit back, relax and enjoy a classic TV show.

8. Read a book

Books take you places movies and TV shows haven’t quite mastered yet. Whether it be an adventure into another dimension, a love story so real that it has you up till 3am reading books have always been able to capture their readers and truly entertain. Next time you’re bored find a new book to read and I guarantee you that you won’t be bored anymore.

9. Unsubscribe from Email lists

We all have those emails that we don’t truly ever read from different stores and email lists. Take the time to de-clutter your inbox and unsubscribe from all those daily emails.

10. Donate things you don’t use

Filter through all those old clothes, shoes and knick-knacks. Anything that is stuck in the back of the closet collecting dust, give yourself more room around the house and donate anything you don’t need/use.

Hopefully these ten things will help you get things done and cure you from your boredom.
