There are days when you quickly get through so many things that you don’t even have anything else to do. But sitting around doing nothing is boring, and performing great feats is too lazy.

One day in a bookstore I came across a popular science book. This book said that if you feel that you are bored with life, you think that you are depressed, then most likely you have no purpose in life and you do not understand who you are. In this article we will look at what to do when you are bored?
You don't feel yourself. You don't know what you want to do. Basically, you don't know what you love. And even if you are now released from work and given a large amount of money, you will not know what to spend it on or what you should do now.
Therefore, the first thing I think you need to start doing if you are bored is to start making plans. Because it’s boring because of idleness!
1. Plan.
Make plans. You can make a wish map. What will you look like in 5 years? Where will you live? How will your day go? What habits will you have? What will you love to eat for breakfast? What languages will you know? What kind of people will you communicate with? Where will you work? Or perhaps you will go to study. You don't have anything to do right now anyway, so why not sit and dream about what kind of life you might have in the future. Plans make us happier.
If you really know what you want, then perhaps you should start planning steps towards your goal. For example, you want to work as a designer, then you need to go to a site with job advertisements and see what requirements are imposed on a person who works in this position. See what programs you need to study, what skills and work experience are required.
And begin to slowly develop these skills and develop a portfolio in order to get this position in the future. If at this moment in time you don’t want to learn anything, then don’t learn. But look on the Internet for courses that can help you in the future, look for books or other online resources for studying design. And when you are in the right mood for studying, you will not need to look for these resources all over the Internet and bookmarks lying around, you will just need to open the courses, books that you have carefully collected in a separate folder to study.
Plan your vacation.
Plan your trip. If you are going to go somewhere. Or you just dream of going somewhere. Anyway. Check ticket prices. Check out the hotels. Look for things to do in this country. What can you eat? What to see. Look for typical establishments with many locals. This way you can learn more about the culture and the country. Come up with entertainment for your vacation. You can bungee jump, go surfing, you can go on an excursion, scuba dive, you can ride a roller coaster, take part in a festival, sleep in a Japanese capsule hotel, you can chat with locals by making an appointment with them on the Couchsurfing website and much much more everything you have enough imagination and patience to browse the Internet for. In general, to ensure that you don’t get bored during your vacation, you need to plan everything in advance.
If you don’t like planning trips in general, then think about some events that are happening in your city and you would like to attend. For example, there is a concert of some very cool band coming up and you would like to go to it. Perhaps there is a festival taking place in your city, and you would like to feel the atmosphere of the city during this festival and walk along its streets. Or maybe an English language course or a dance group starts next week. And it would be great for you to sign up there, because they are very conveniently located near your work or home.
Or you can go on a historical excursion in your city.. Or see on which days you will definitely be free and you don’t plan to go anywhere, and then on that day you can meet your friends. Just get into the habit of planning some events in your life and life will become more interesting. You will begin to enjoy not only the event itself, but also the time you spend waiting for it.
Plan your day.
Create new healthy habits for yourself. Plan your day according to these habits. For example, you want to start doing yoga or doing exercises in the morning. Or you want to save some money for your trip and from now on you decide to take food to work with you rather than spend money on cafes at work. And you will need time to prepare the food, pack it in a container and put it in your bag. And so that there is no temptation, as always, to rush off to work in a hurry and again have lunch at the local canteen, you need to get into the habit of getting up early.
Planning your habits This is also a very fun and interesting activity. Especially nowadays when there are a huge number of applications such as Google calendars, Google Keeper, Google tasks. People who have a Gmail account understand perfectly what I’m talking about; on the right side of the Gmail mailbox there is a column where you can write down a list of tasks, and after completion, mark these tasks as completed. Inventing habits is somewhat reminiscent of a quest. Like in games like Gothic, when you level up your character. Only in life all this is much more interesting. And much more useful.
2. Start learning a foreign language.
Well, if at the moment you are sitting in the office and you are both bored and sad, then in my opinion, studying foreign language- This is simply an amazing option. And many employers are quite loyal to the fact that employees, after doing their work, sit with textbooks on English language or read some fiction in English. Admit it, do you have volumes of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings at work? I saw volumes of Harry Potter in many offices.
3. Register on the couchsurfing website or on the penpals website.
You can continue to practice your foreign language. Or arrange a meeting with one of the foreign guests. Show them your city, chat with them, learn something new about their culture, tell them about yours. Just 15-20 🙂 clicks and a completely new and interesting experience.
4. Learn to cook something new. For example, borscht (new ha-ha) or sushi or fry some pies.
Cooking is actually quite an interesting activity too. But if you really don’t like cooking at all, then you can just think about what you would like to eat and find a place in the city where this food is prepared.
5. Just read an interesting book.
I can give you good advice, get yourself a special notebook where you will write down films and books that interest you and that you want to read. Sometimes it happens that you simply cannot remember what kind of film it was and you have to watch the first or second one that you came across on the Internet.
6. Take a walk.
Take a walk around the city or your neighborhood. Select a route on Google maps, 8 kilometers and go! Ideally, this route should pass through the most beautiful places in your city and then the walk will be even more interesting. After the walk, you will feel very tired and forget that you were bored at all. Besides this, a walk is always very beneficial, there is a huge amount of research that says that a walk is the most best way extend our lives and improve our health. Walking will once and for all rid you of thoughts of what to do when you’re bored?
7. Come up with a list of gifts for your friends and family.
When the time comes for holidays and birthdays, coming up with a gift for a person becomes simply a super task. So, why don’t you think of something to give now, when you’re bored? You can also come up with a romantic surprise for your loved one.
8. Another very fun activity.
This is watching videos on YouTube. But something tells me that you watch them all the time anyway:J
9. Sports.
Go to the pool, play basketball, football, tennis, badminton, any active sports game, dance, go hiking, ride a bike. In general, an active hobby is one of the most important components of healthy psychological well-being. If you notice that you are often bored, you often feel tired, or feel overwhelmed, then most likely there is very little physical activity in your life. A sports hobby is one of the best ways to take your mind off problems and make your life more interesting and varied. Among other things, physical activity is the most natural way, invented by nature, to relax and calm your thoughts. Physical activity is meditation.
10. What to do when you're bored? Just call some of your friends and just chat.
About all sorts of nonsense, about what happened in your life, about what book you read, about where you were, about what phone you bought, what movie you want to watch. Better yet, invite them to your place for tea or invite them to sit in some coffee shop in the city center. In general, chatting with friends over a cup of coffee is a very fun and relaxing activity.
11. Clean the house.
If you are at work, remove your desk. I think that almost every person at home has piles of clothes that should have been cleared away long ago. There is a bookcase with a bunch of books, which, by the way, you can leaf through while cleaning and turn cleaning into reading. Dust that needs to be wiped off. There are a lot of unnecessary things that clutter up your space and, as my observations show, interfere with your thinking. In general, cleaning is two in one. This is cleaning and at the same time it can be dancing to very cheerful live music. (Girls, take note!) The next point of the article follows from this: what to do if you are bored, is music.
12. Listen to your favorite music.
There are a huge number of musical styles that you can explore. Don't want to? Ok Jump and have fun to your favorite familiar music. We all really loved doing this as children, so even if you are an adult now, maybe this is the time to feel that childhood joy.
You can also sing karaoke. Some Disney song. For example from Mulan. It seems to me that almost all people in the world love to sing. I wonder why? Of course, there are people who are shy, but love :)
13. Keep a diary.
You can write down events that happened in your life there. And after some time you will be able to re-read them. Very often, after a few years, events are forgotten, but thanks to your diary, you will be able to return to the warmest and most precious moments of your life. Many famous personalities, writers and travelers, kept their diaries. Perhaps it is the diary that will encourage you to make your life more vibrant and interesting.
14. Come up with a business idea.
Come up with a way to earn extra money. It could be tutoring, it could be an extra job, just a small business idea, you could start your own Youtube channel or blog. At the same time, doing your own business is always more interesting than working for someone else. You can be an author, designer, businessman, all rolled into one. It can be anyone - after all, it’s your business.
There are a huge number of interesting lectures on evolution, lectures on human psychology, lectures on mathematics, physics, lectures on space, lectures on animals. The world around us is so amazing and huge that you will definitely be able to find a topic that will interest you. In addition, it has now become fashionable to popularize science. A huge number of interesting lecturers have appeared who talk about very complex things as if it were your friend talking about what happened to him yesterday in your kitchen. They joke a lot, give real examples, after which you stop thinking that astrophysics is something for the elite.
16. Learn to draw or just draw.
People, nature, animals. Paints, pencils, felt-tip pens, crayons, on the computer. Whatever.
17. Take care of yourself.
If you are a girl, then make a face mask, paint your nails, come up with a beautiful makeup that you have never done. Look on YouTube for hairstyle ideas and create something new for yourself: braids, lambswort, long straight hair, curls. All this takes time. After all the procedures, will thoughts about what to do when you’re bored stop coming into your head?
18. Go to a university open day.
Perhaps you have long dreamed of visiting the building of some famous university, or you are actually interested in the curriculum of this university. Days open doors- it's like a breath of fresh air, Sometimes it feels like an opportunity to touch the future. Especially when it comes to faculties related to science.
19. Buy tickets for football, hockey.
Cheering for a team is a lot of fun, but it's just as fun if you're cheering for that team at home or in a sports bar. Go to a sports bar.
20. What to do when you're bored? Get together with friends and family and play board games.
There are a huge number of board games now: from strategies to the simplest entertaining games like mafia. In the event that none of your relatives and friends loves board games, you can join some clubs that are located near you. Nowadays this is all very common.
21. Arrange a photo shoot for yourself.
You can do a portrait photo session, you can arrange a photo session outdoors, on the street of your city, choosing the most unique views. Or take a photo yourself.
22. Do it yourself.
Learn to do something with your own hands: sew, knit, make furniture, assemble robots, grow strawberries or tomatoes at home.
If none of the activities have yet touched a single string of your soul, then just lie idle, or better yet, sleep. Everything has its time.
23. Sleep is also a very useful thing.

Gaius Julius Caesar
What to do if you're bored
Sometimes there are moments in life when it becomes unbearably boring, which makes you want to howl at the moon. This state causes a patterned course of things in life, a habitual way of existence, which is quite boring.But if you stop and look around, you will notice that life itself throws lifebuoy. It's time to look at some things that bored people need to start doing.
There comes a time when boredom appears even from your favorite job, and you feel sad at home. Even on fun party With friends you feel nothing but boredom.
A series of identical days, like film frames, one follows another. And there is no longer any strength, no desire and, it seems, there is no possibility to change anything. There are fewer interesting, original, and extraordinary things in life. Gradually, the taste for life is lost and such a feeling as surprise, which used to accompany in any undertaking, is forgotten.
Work does not bring satisfaction, entertainment becomes a rare event. If this state becomes stable and even habitual, then you need to start changing everything.
There are many simple tricks that will help make life brighter and more colorful. And everything is simpler than it seems at first glance.It’s enough just to do familiar things differently than always.
Morning, traffic jams, crowded public transport. These are familiar pictures that everyone who goes to work sees. And as soon as you replace a trip on public transport with a leisurely walk to work through the park, an ordinary morning will become extraordinary.You need to give up watching TV for at least one weekend and go for a walk in an unfamiliar place. Extroverts are advised to be alone with themselves and reflect.
They are the ones who make our lives unpredictable and exciting. You can put away your cookbook, forget about your favorite recipes and make something completely new. An ordinary home dinner can be turned into a celebration by setting the table in a festive way: with original dishes, candles, expensive wine. While a person is alive, he can change everything: from the style of clothing, hairstyle, to boring work. You shouldn’t look back at someone, at someone’s opinion. Look. You need to behave and live the way you want, and not as others or fashion dictate. Restraint, the ability to control negative emotions and impulses are wonderful qualities of a strong person. They will be useful in business, work, and when communicating with superiors. But you definitely need to set aside at least an hour to let yourself go. At this moment, you can do whatever you want without hiding your emotions. You don’t have to take incredible poses to achieve enlightenment. You should find your position in which it will be convenient and comfortable, put on the sounds of nature and just relax. It is very difficult and extremely important to remain yourself, to play less roles imposed by society. It is very useful to learn to guess invented stereotypes in order to discard them in time and enjoy yourself, your originality, uniqueness. In addition to the fact that under any circumstances you need to remain yourself, you need to be able to feel yourself in different places, under different circumstances. You should learn to feel yourself and the world around you at the same time on the same plane and understand that the personality is a part of the world, and the world will always be a part of the personality. It is extremely important to understand for yourself that there will be no other life, there is only one person. Therefore, you should start loving yourself as you are, without adding various shortcomings to yourself.Tip #9: Imagine it’s your last day on Earth
No one can know what will happen in the next second, and perhaps this day will be the last on Earth. You need to live to the fullest, breathe deeply, and not put off life until later, because there may not be a later life at all.Tip No. 10. Self-expression is the path to self-knowledge
To understand your limitless possibilities, you need to work creatively. Boredom and melancholy will pass when what was planned turns out. And this causes moral satisfaction not only with oneself, but also with life. Of course, truly, without expecting anything in return. A person inevitably loses the ability to enjoy even the smallest achievements and victories over the years. It is necessary to learn to rejoice even in defeats, since they represent life lessons that make it possible to act differently in a similar situation and ultimately win. Constantly going over failures and negative moments in your memory, you lose precious minutes when you can be happy. Perhaps only children are capable of constantly being sincerely surprised by the world around them. It’s worth learning this skill from them. You need to find a minute to stop, stop your thoughts and enjoy the beauty of nature, to be amazed at how beautiful the world around you is.Things to do in your free time
Time is a flexible and phenomenal concept. In the process of complex and urgent work, an acute shortage of it is felt.Many people say that twenty-four hours in a day is not enough for them. But once you become the owner of free time, it begins to go as slowly as possible.
If someone had to wait for someone, then time moves at a very low speed and this waiting becomes tiresome. These are windows that seem to have nothing to fill.
It is important to learn to value time, whether it is as busy as possible during work or free time when there is nothing to do. For example, what to do if there are still 2 hours before the meeting, but there is no point in going back home? What can you do with your unexpected free time?
1. Go for a walk
It's not often that you get to go for a walk. As a rule, people mostly walk according to the “work - home” principle, which is the route from point A to point B. There is no time left for walking.As soon as you have free time, you should pay attention to a pleasant walk to the nearest park, where there is clean air, tree crowns, a small pond, ducks or swans swimming in it. In any case, walks are useful; they also distract you from your daily routine and make you think about relaxation and something pleasant.
2. Sit in a cozy cafe
If people who have never sat in a cafe or gone to the cinema all alone. But in vain, because there is some charm in this. Such gatherings in a cafe can serve as a good break from work and the fast pace of life.You can order a delicious drink that you have never tried, enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant (they can surprise you now). Moreover, if a person has to wait for someone, it is better to do this in a cafe than to stand and freeze on the street in cold weather.
3. Watch the sky, birds, people. The sight of nature, for example, is always calming. But people rarely look at the sky. Watching is a fascinating activity. In this case, it is best to go to a place where there is nature.
In the flow of life, we rarely stop, because work requires active movement. Sometimes there is simply not enough time to stop and look around.
4. Call loved ones
Communication always has a beneficial effect on mood. Often after work there is no physical strength to communicate with someone, and such “pauses” allow you to fill in the gaps.Despite the fact that technologies are developing, they are not able to connect people who are far from each other. In our free time, we can remember people close to us and communicate with them.
5. Dream

I'm bored, demon.

What should we do, Faust?
This is your limit
Nobody violates it.
All intelligent creatures are bored:
Some from laziness, some from deeds;
Who believes, who has lost faith;
He didn't have time to enjoy it
He enjoyed it in moderation,
And everyone yawns and lives -
And the coffin, yawning, awaits all of you.
Yawn too.Faust
Dry joke!
Find me a way to unwind somehow!

The family is bored at home
What can you do at home when everyone is bored? What does it take to relieve boredom? It’s completely simple here. After all, company is the main thing you need for fun.There are plenty of similar options for what to do if you’re bored at home! Two household members will always have something to do when there is nothing to do, when they are bored at the computer and a lot of fantasies are swarming in their heads.
How to cheer yourself up while doing boring things?
Need to do a lot of daily tasks? But I don’t want to be so bored. Even thoughts about upcoming things make me sad.
Cleaning the apartment, a mountain of unwashed dishes, shopping. The thought comes that there is no escape from everyday chores, and whether you want to or not, you will have to do them.
Thinking about when this will end, a person begins to carry out the routine, while perhaps feeling tired and empty.
But you can approach your daily routine differently. Read and remember:
1. Why be discouraged when you can sing and dance!
While performing a routine, such as washing dishes, you can sing. You need to imagine that the goal is not washing dishes, with accompanying singing. And, on the contrary, singing your favorite songs, and, at the same time, washing the dishes. You can get so carried away by singing that you don’t notice that all the dishes have already been washed. All that remains is surprise: “Was it a mountain of dishes? And it seemed like there was so much of it.”2. Did something difficult or unpleasant happen? It's time to please yourself!
There are things that you don't want to do. Sometimes the amount of work or the unpleasant sensations associated with completing a task are frightening.Do you need to write another report of the same type? Or cleaning the house again when, it would seem, the cleaning was only recently done? There is no need to think that it will be boring and monotonous, and that such things are not inspiring. You can try to negotiate with yourself about a subsequent reward for the task completed.
You can make a list of your small wishes. For example, going to a cafe, wanting to eat pizza, watching a movie. Once you’ve done the job, it’s time to perform a pleasant action from the list.
3. Have a competition with yourself
In order to complete an unpleasant task faster, you can set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes, and try to complete the task during this time. Then your thoughts will not be about what routine task you have to do, but about how you will meet the specified time.4. Share responsibilities with your family
If you do routine work day after day with the thought that no one else needs it, then fatigue cannot be avoided. And if you distribute household chores among all family members, then there will be fewer unpleasant emotions, because there will be less fatigue.5. Divide a large task into small subtasks
It happens that the amount of work is intimidating. It seems difficult to accomplish. But if you do it a little at a time, the task won’t seem so overwhelming. For example, the report has 12 pages. You can write one page at a time, and then briefly distract yourself with something pleasant.6. If work seems routine, then you can come up with an emotional ritual.
There is a job that involves constant varied activities and communication with people. It's hard to get bored with a job like this. But there is work that involves repeating the same actions every day. Monotony can make you sad.In order to add emotions, you can come up with such a ritual. Before work, if your schedule allows, you can perform some emotional action. For example, watch an interesting film, or do something unusual, that is, new. Then the emotions from the action performed can drive away the melancholy of routine work.
7. You need to be outdoors more often
Doing routine tasks can be tiring. Walking in the fresh air will help you relax and recharge your batteries.8. Audiobooks
It happens that there is no time to listen to them. But, at the same time, you need to do things that make you sad. This way you can combine business with pleasure. For example, you can tidy up or iron clothes and listen to an audiobook.Boring is a subjective feeling. If you look at daily routine tasks differently, then perhaps there will be no trace of boredom left.

- Chronic boredom- this is not something that you can give up on, they say, it’s nonsense - no, this is a serious symptom indicating the approach of depression, which is already quite serious and can lead to rash actions that negatively affect the future: marrying an unloved person, spontaneous expensive purchases or leaving work, loss of family.
- Positive changes- this is what can change your life for the better! There is no need to wait until boredom begins to make itself felt. It is necessary to take this area of your emotions into your own hands and turn on your imagination at full capacity, a powerful engine of a personal attitude toward positivity that can overcome the boring everyday life of a drab existence.

The chessboard on which outstanding minds fight is limited to eight squares on each side, but the number of variations in the arrangement of pieces on it approaches several billion and this has been proven mathematically! How infinitely more diverse is what you see around you in this world!
Of course, it’s not easy to immediately solve the problem of boredom and come up with activities for the mind and hands. But this is not a reason to despair! Even remembering and telling a funny joke is difficult right away.
But here's the simplest thing to start with:
- make small changes to your environment. Simple steps: rearrange the flowerpot or place a new one. Do you want to plant flowers? - Plant a tree!
- create a completely new and unusual modern creation of all the trinkets you've found! If you put your soul into it when creating it, then this work will definitely become modern art!
For example, you can take matches, candle wax and a lighter. Just imagine the variety of crafts and flights of fancy when using ordinary matches held together with wax!
- try to be simpler. Simplicity is much deeper and more varied than it seems. Enjoying the singing of birds, the beauty of foliage and a variety of flowers, listening to children's laughter - isn't it wonderful? And very simple!
