It's no secret that we are all facing difficult times right now. There is so much tragedy, hopelessness, and fear all over the globe.

If you're fortunate enough to be in a safe, healthy, and financially stable condition right now, then you are fortunate enough to feel boredom rather than pain. It took me a while to realize it, but yes, boredom is a privilege.

With boredom, however, comes lack of productivity.

For our own mental, emotional, and physical well-being, we have to keep ourselves busy and make positive changes in our lives. Here are 50 ways to do it:
