Fighting Boredom

[bettey13]

It's gorgeous outside, and in a few minutes I'll have the house to myself, great! Not so much, it seems I'm a little bored. So what are some things everyone does to fight boredom?

I am almost never bored.  It seems I hardly ever have time to get everything done.  And I don't mean housework!  I have several hobbies that I enjoy.  When I was younger and had more energy, I did a lot of volunteer work in the community.  If you have a computer, which I assume you do, there are an infinite number of activities you can access.  Right now I am doing family research, taking a course in novel writing, and working on my Bachelor's Degree.  And I have to work in my naps.  I'll be 73 in August.

Read, watch a movie, take a walk and there's always the never failing nap!

If I had a few minutes to myself, I'd be a sloth.  Go lay in my bed and rest my eyes for a bit. 
Seems I'm always so busy, so that sounds like a luxury to me.

If I have extra free time, and don't want to be a sloth while no one is watching,  I'll go on PTC sites, that is how I fill up my down time, being productive & getting paid.

I can't say that I get bored much these days either. Seems there is never enough time to get everything done that I want to get accomplished. When all else fails, go for a walk. It will ease the boredom and will be good for you too.

I used to knit and crochet a lot but since Facebook I go on there to keep in touch with my family and friends and play a few games with them when they come on line.

When I get bored I take the child and I turn on some music and start dancing!

I don't fight boredom. It does not fight me. I would embrace it if it meant peace from the world. 

I'm not really tolerant of people who say they are bored.  There are too many things to do to be bored, or to even say you're bored. Get busy, for Pete's sake.

I have to say, I think I am always busy. I never get bored.
