(Atleast try) Starting a small (online) business.
Whether the business runs or not, it’s a great time pass for you plus you get to learn more business related concepts which makes you smarter, atleast, if not profitable.
Starting a business is easy. Running it successfully is tough, or at least somewhat difficult.
So you need to be equipped with the right skills and knowledge to be able to run a successful business.
A great part of running a business is you’re constantly learning new areas in business, which keeps you busy usually, and because of that you’ll feel less bored comparatively.
Being bored occurs when you don’t have anything interesting going on. It’s ok. You just start something that’s exciting and keep moving forward.
Get YouTube Premium.
YouTube provides you with content so that you can stay entertained 24/7/365. YouTube is a beast when you’re bored.
That too YouTube premium is key because the pricing is so cheap for what it offers and the ad free experience is game changing.
Everyone should get a YouTube premium because it’s not even a question for people who live on YouTube consuming content.
YouTube offers all types of content. No explanation needed there.
The ad free experience is something worth pointing out in the YouTube world.
If you’re someone who gets bored a lot often, try YouTube premium ad experience, sure you’ll be consuming more content on YouTube and spend less time being bored.
Start a blog and write (anything).
This is one of the easiest way to beat boredom after the second point on YouTube premium.
Just buy a domain, hosting and start running a blog in no time.
Blogging is fun. It does many things to you.
One of which is it keeps you out of boredom because of the learning part and the content creation part.
You also get to improve your communication skills through writing on your blog.
Blog is also powerful when you try to establish authority.
If you go to an interview, putting a blog on your resume will drastically increase the way you being perceived and having more content in your blog for a long time will certainly establish trust with you.
Buying an additional device to your primary device.
Think about it. Mind is always looking for content. It wants you to be busy with something or the other.
Having an additional device not only helps you with boredom while your primary device is charging, it gives you new ways to do things with your tablet/laptop.
Think about it. Tablet/laptop allows you to do stuff that you simply can’t do in a smartphone, right?
For example, stock marketing trading is better on a laptop than on mobile.
So having an extra device opens up new opportunities to learn and try new stuff.
Usually most of us always have both, a smartphone and a laptop and implementing this shouldn’t be difficult.
It definitely helps with getting exposure to new areas of interest.
Buy books
Whenever I feel bored and just walk in my living area, I just take a book that I bought recently and read one page.
Before I know it, I’m at the 5th page. Sometimes you do boring stuff and get interested in it a little to beat boredom.
Reading a book that you like is a fantastic way to beat boredom.
Once you start this practice, you’ll find yourself often in this habit of reading.
One key factor is what book you’re reading.
I prefer business and investing books because that keeps me interested for a while.
So pick the ones that really interests you.
You can start this with reading a specific chapter that you like in the book.
Also I’m talking about non fiction books from the beginning, just to be clear.
Fiction, if you like it, then why not. Go for it.
Learn about investing and personal finance.
I just know a bunch of YouTube channels where if I go, time just flies by. Before I knew it, 2,3,4 hours passed. Because money is one topic that interests everyone.
If you find some YouTube channels where you find some interesting content around money.
Channel language is also a factor. If you see, in English, there are many finance content channels from the West, but I prefer local/regional language based finance channels, with a pinch of humor gets me going for binge watching.
Everyone should know about some finance related relevant stuff to be careful with their spending and money overall in general.
Since money is interesting to all, it can easily beat your boredom if you find it interesting.
Look around for unique places in your area (with google Maps)
If you’re an outdoor person, then this is for you.
We all think we know the places that are nearby well. But in reality there are some amazing spots and places near you that you missed all these days.
Whether you’re looking to relax, trying to have a cup of coffee, or finding new people to chat with, there will be many spots near your location that you’re totally unaware of.
You can start this process by looking for places near your place in google Maps.
This is such a game changer for me. Once or twice a week doing this will keep you out of boredom easily and who knows you may find some interesting and exciting places near you.
