What To Do When I Am Bored

Ah, the classic “I’m bored” moment 😅 — no worries, I get you. Here’s a bunch of ideas depending on your mood or what you’re in the mood for:


🎨 Feeling Creative?

  • Try drawing or painting something random (even stick figure comics!)
  • Start a short story or poem (even just for fun)
  • Make a vision board (digital or physical)
  • Try a DIY or craft project using stuff around the house
  • Learn a new song on an instrument (or make up one!)

💡 Want to Learn Something?

  • Watch a random documentary on YouTube or Netflix
  • Open a random Wikipedia article and go down a rabbit hole
  • Learn a new word and use it in a sentence
  • Take a free online course (Coursera, Khan Academy, etc.)
  • Try a logic puzzle or brain teaser

💻 Digital Fun

  • Try a new game (mobile or PC)
  • Organize your photos or files (oddly satisfying)
  • Make a new playlist for a vibe — chill, hype, nostalgic, etc.
  • Explore Google Earth and “visit” a random country
  • Start a mock business idea just for fun

🧘 Need to Chill?

  • Meditate or try breathwork (apps like Calm or YouTube videos)
  • Listen to lo-fi music or a podcast while you lay down
  • Journal whatever’s on your mind
  • Take a bubble bath or long shower

🚶 Need to Move?

  • Go for a walk or jog and just observe things
  • Do a quick home workout or stretch
  • Dance to your favorite music — just go wild
  • Clean or rearrange a room (low-key therapeutic)

💬 Want to Connect?

  • Text someone randomly and check in
  • Call a friend or family member you haven’t talked to in a while
  • Write a letter (yes, like with pen and paper) to someone you appreciate
  • Hop into an online community around something you love
