Is it raining or snowing?Or do you feel like you've already done everything there is to do, at home and outside?Boredom strikes everyone sooner or later.In some cases it is better to accept it, while in other occasions it is an opportunity to have fun or complete some task.Either way, the key to beating her is to change things up with something new.

Run errands. Even when there is no urgency, a quick trip to the supermarket can greatly relieve your boredom.Studies show that the time you spend walking is more exciting than the time you spend waiting for something.If you can do something productive by going out, so much the better, but either way it will be more fun than staying at home doing nothing.[1]
-
Make work a game. Try turning errands and other household chores into games.Give yourself points for each task you complete and reward yourself with a night out or a new toy when you've earned enough points.Try to set the kitchen cleaning speed record.Record your best times and try to beat your own record![2]

Write a blog! Today, sharing your thoughts with the world is easier than ever.Dedicate your free time to writing and processing your thoughts.If people like what you write, you can even start selling advertising space to earn some extra money, or make your name known as an expert on a topic.[3]
- If you have strong opinions about politics, food, or culture, try writing articles about these topics.Otherwise, you can post stories or just express your feelings.
- There are websites that offer compensation for writing short articles.

Make your opinion known. Many websites allow you to earn money (often small amounts) by answering questions.Some examples include SurveyMonkey, SurveySpot, My Survey, Lightspeed Consumer Panel, Pinecone Research, Opinion OutPost, MyPoints, Springboard America, and Toluna.This is a way to fill your free time and earn some extra money.[4]

Test apps.

Free your mind. Meditation may not seem like the most exciting activity to you, but it allows you to improve concentration by relieving the anxiety that often accompanies boredom.Try meditating for at least 20 minutes a day to increase concentration and clarity.[6]
- To meditate, close your eyes and clear your mind.Focus on an image, word or phrase.Think about that thing and every time your mind starts to wander, bring your attention back to the item you chose.

Scribble. Drawing can be fun, even when you don't do it with great effort.Furthermore, contrary to what one might think, doodling helps us concentrate on the other activities we are doing.This state of greater attention makes everything we do more interesting, whether it is work or watching television.[7]
-
Listen to music you don't know. Focusing on something artistic is a good way to keep boredom away.[8] In general, all the new things help to have fun.So, try an Internet radio program that plays songs you've never heard.Alternatively, look for classical music pieces you've heard of but never listened to.
-
Get your hands dirty in the kitchen. Try making a cake or other complex recipe that you've never cooked before.This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and occupy your time.If that's not enough, at the end of your efforts you'll have a good dish to try – or at least a funny story to tell.[9]

Treat yourself to an ultra-luxury bathroom. Especially when it's cold outside, a hot bath can transform a moment of relaxation into an opportunity for fun.Try to heat the water to around 33°C.Turn off the lights and light some candles to create a nice atmosphere.Put on some music and pour some oils into the tub to give the water a pleasant aroma.[10]

Surf the internet. Today it is very easy to fight boredom, because on the internet you can find endless activities to do.Read news sites, visit social networks, or find fun apps and games.Be careful, though:Prolonged use of the internet reduces your attention span, making the entire world around you less interesting.[11]
-
Read a book. Once upon a time, reading was one of the few pastimes that our ancestors had available.Even today it is a fun activity;it requires more attention than using the internet and therefore helps you stay more concentrated.You will meet interesting characters and may ultimately learn something about people, stories and languages.
- Consider applying what you learn by writing.As you read, take breaks to take notes, write stories, or think about the text.This allows you to read with more active participation.[12]

Try something new. When faced with the choice between eating candy and receiving an electric shock, bored people have been shown to prefer electrocution.Regardless of whether a feeling is positive or negative, a new experience combats boredom better than something we are used to.In other words, you should be adventurous:do something you wouldn't normally do or visit a place you're unfamiliar with, even if it's an activity you don't enjoy.[13]
- To take a decisive step in this direction, surround yourself with interesting people.You can choose adventure buddies who are fun, or who love trying new things and who invite you to join them.[14]
-
Give up your dreams. One of the most common solutions to boredom is daydreaming.Scientific evidence, however, suggests that this activity only makes things worse.As our minds begin to wander to exotic places, we begin to feel that what we have in real life isn't as satisfying, even when things aren't that bad.
-
Eliminate the sounds that disturb you. Studies have shown that background noises that we can barely hear have an important effect on the subconscious.Without us realizing it, they distract us from our core activities, making them seem more boring than they are.Turn off distant television or radio devices that may distract you.If the problem is more difficult to correct – for example, if the noise is made by the wind or a leaky faucet – try moving.[15]
-
Accept boredom. In our high-tech world, we are often overstimulated and boredom is a rare phenomenon.Some people feel that it should be seen as an opportunity to think more deeply than we normally do.[16] That said, we all experience this condition differently and some people suffer from episodes of boredom that are much more bothersome than others.[17] You should decide for yourself whether you can use boredom to escape the distractions of the internet age.[18]Advertising
