What to Do When You Are Bored at Home
I think it is safe to say that by now we have all become very comfortable at home and have been pretty good at getting creative in our spare time. Remember when we were making fancy coffee drinks by grinding instant coffee for hours?
But I would like to offer up a few (budget friendly, of course) ideas to enhance your home-life as we are in the weirdness of winter, besides that one 60 degree day.
Ok, 12 things you can do at home to fight boredom
Make a playlist of your favorite throwback songs - cleaning, taking a bath, you pick the vibe
Watch a classic movie you’ve never seen - if you haven’t seen When Harry Met Sally, I strongly suggest
Listen to one of Michelle Obama’s podcast episodes while sipping a mimosa on a yoga mat on a Saturday afternoon- this one is very specific, might be on my to-do list
Plan your next trip in extreme detail - bonus tips if you figure out how much you need to save a month and incorporating it in your budget
Clean your makeup brushes - the reward with this one will come the next time you have to put on makeup
Unsubscribe from emails - easy targets are ones you delete right away, you know which ones they are
Make delicious bread - start with a simple banana or sourdough if you are a newbie
Create a vision board - this can be for goals, your room or a van you are preparing to buy and live in (ummmm this last one is me!)
Send a note - pick a friend, family member or lover (oh lal la) and tell them just how much they mean to you
Start learning a language - this is great to brush up on those high school skills or to prepare for your next trip, pick an app like Duolingo to help
Learn to french braid - this has been on my list since I was 6 but I refuse to give up on this dream
Organize a clothing swap with friends - this can be to keep, borrow or sell
Alright, there you have it. Easy ways to perk up your day that won’t break the bank. The key is to stay inspired, keep dreaming and living life intentionally.
