It’s summertime and for a lot of us, this means a lot of travel (or at least little). Our childhood excitement leading up to a trip that (let’s be honest) mostly consisted of just being excited to ride in an airplane, is no longer with us. Instead, flying can be a more of a hassle than anything. From struggling to fit all your travel necessities into the smallest carry-on you can find without violating TSA regulations, to sitting in a rigid, uncomfortable seat for hours; trips that involve airports and an airplane can put just about anyone in a bad mood. Not to mention, the boredom that comes from remaining sedentary, in a confined space for hours on end. That’s the hardest part. So, in order to deal with the looming anxiety and discomfort that accompanies ~finally~ reaching your destination, here are a couple things that will help you get through those flights that seem like they will never land.
1. Knit/braid
2. Sudoku/crossword/read a new book
3. Plan your trip itinerary
4. Make a recipe book
5. Fill out your planner for the week
6. Delete unwanted/unnecessary photos and screenshots on your phone and computer
7. Delete spam and unwanted emails in your inbox
8. Clean off your desktop
9. Organize the apps on your phone
10. Add to your bucket list
11. Color in a coloring book
12. Learn to do something new
If you’re like me and like to keep busy, these options will help get your mind off of sitting still for a couple hours.
