1. Play Music
Lift your mood and play your favorite songs. Compile a list of the songs you love in their different genre on Spotify, youtube, or whatever is your choice of music platform. Listen to them at it would make you feel better.
2. Cleaning your home
Cleaning and organizing your home is a good way to keep yourself occupied. Secondly, it is springtime which is a good time to do a good spring cleaning of your whole home.
You can check this post on How To Do A Spring Cleaning In Your Home to keep you motivated. Also with the Coronavirus Pandemic, you should be cleaning and sanitizing your whole house.
3. Read a book
Depending on your interest, pick a book you love and read. I believe there are some books you have in mind to read but you have not had time to read them.
So this is the best time to start, get comfortable, make yourself a cup of tea, or grab a glass of wine and read.
4. Cook something
Trying out a new recipe is a good idea when you are bored. There are a whole lot of food recipes to try out depending on what you like.
You can also add baking to this list, learn how to bake some pastries for you and your family if you have one.
5. Workout
It never kills to get some sweat out of your body. You can take a walk around or do yoga at home. Also, there is a lot of home workout to choose from to keep you fit.
I use Chloe Ting home workout and I recommend her workout check her out.
6. Have a self care day
Since you are bored why not have a self-care day. Use this time to give your skin a deep clean and exfoliate it well.
You can go all-in with a spa day, take a bath, have a relaxing time. Use your face maks and go through your whole skin routine. You will be feeling happy after this.
7. Netflix and chill
After doing your self-care routine, you can binge-watch your favorite movie. Make popcorn, have a drink, and enjoy your movie.
Here are some movies I have been watching sex education, boss baby, self-made, etc.
8. Learn a language
Learning a new language is a very good way to kill boredom. I am sure there is a language you love and would like to learn.
I just started learning Spanish and it is fun, I use Duolingo and spent 10 to 20 minutes a day learning.
With this, you will not notice the time go by plus to are learning something new.
9. Do your nails
While you are home you can be creative too, you can use this time to give yourself a manicure or pedicure. For your nails, there are a whole lot of tutorials on the internet to help you get beautiful nails.
I always love watching Suzi from the Nail Career Education Youtube channel. Suzi shows how to get beautiful nails, you can follow along and get your nails done.
10. Declutter your home
I know I talked about cleaning your home, but cleaning your home is different from decluttering your home.
Use this time to go through your closet, get rid of the items you don’t wear anymore or you have not worn for a long time.
You can donate them or resale them. Likewise, for your makeup and skincare products, take out the empties and expired products, while you give out the good ones you don’t use again.
Also go through every part of your house, your kitchen, garage, laundry room, bathroom, etc, and take out all the things that are broken and you don’t use.
Finally, if you have kids go through all their clothes, toys, plates, bottles, etc.
11. Learn to play an instrument
Whether it is a piano, a guitar, a saxophone, etc. You should use your spare time to learn to play any instrument of your choice.
Also, I feel like learning new things makes me feel productive every time. I love the piano, and I will learn how to play it someday.
12. Communicate with your loved ones
Sometimes we get so busy and forget to reach out to our loved ones, so this is the best time to do this.
Call them to know what they have been doing, you can text, do a video call, or whatever you like, it would go a long way to make them and also you feel better and loved.
13. Redecorate your home
Redecorating your home does not mean you have to start spending a lot of money.
In fact, you don’t have to spend money at all, you can just use things around the house. Because just by moving the furniture in your space your home will look different.
Also, you can switch the decorations between rooms, change your bedding and you are good to go.
14. Make a DIY Lip balm
Lip balm is one beauty product you use all the time so why not try to make your own.
This DIY lip balm kit has everything you’ll need to make your very own moisturizing lip balm. So, some of the ingredients are organic sunflower oil, ethically sourced beeswax, organic spearmint essential oil.
15. Play a game
Playing games keeps you busy and there are a lot of games to try. From video games to phone games, also board games like monopoly, scrabble, chess, etc are fun to play.
I love monopoly, so keep yourself busy with them.
