Ok so you’re bored, what do you do?? Anything, could be something simple.

If I’m at home, I organize something – closets, drawers, photos, music, iTunes music and playlists. I always have a book or magazine with me. I write descriptions of places or people, down to the smallest detail.

Get new music there’s a whole world out there of it you haven’t discovered
Catch up with people
Customize & play around with your computer
Watch TV

All of the above. But I prefer to think of is as ”Using time” before it runs out on me.

Ummm…about all have been mentioned! You’re on Fluther so that should suffice for having fun, learning something, and taking up time!

Volunteer I used to go over to the animal shelter and say, “Put me to work for a couple of hours.” Oh, and they would. If you have a talent, like reading out loud, playing a musical instrument, playing a board game or computer experience, spend some time at a retirement home.

Simplify Go through your closet(s) and pull out anything showing wear, doesn’t fit, or you haven’t worn in over a year. Explore storage areas, like an attic or garage, and get rid of the stuff that has accumulated for that ‘I might need it someday’ stuff, and give it away.

Watch a video series My SO bought Seinfeld and Columbo DVD box sets, and I’ve watched The Guild and The Tripods on YouTube.

I am never bored, and I never kill time.
My time is used usefully, cooking, visiting places etc etc… and of course taking my dogs for long walks on the moors

I have way to many hobbies and interests to be bored.

I could fire up the forge and do a bit of smithing
I could break out the leather working gear and make a case for my Kindle or finish up those boots I have in the works
I could spin that pile of fleece I have into a nice yarn for a weaving project
I could read that book on beekeeping I just loaded to the kindle so I’ll be ready to start my hive in the spring
I could tend to the repairs that need to be done to that pile of fencing gear that I’ve been trying to ignore
And if I’m really at a loss for something to do, I could always clean my office.

The list goes on and on….

Go online to find perfect Thanksgiving recipes for this year.
Start reading a new book from the pile of books that have been stacking up.
Organize your photographs.

I don’t even know how to be bored, I never have time to work on all the projects I already have. When I too tired to pick up, clean up and rearrange things, I watch the slide show of photos on my screen saver.

You don’t kill time, time kills you.
Anyway think about random things.
Go to bored.com.
Help out neighbors.
Listen to music.
Rake your yard.
And lastly but most importantly go pay attention to your pets.
