Killing Time

So, what to do, when you are bored out of your mind? I will try to give you some suggestions.

1) Go out and exercise. It is good for your health and kills time rather fast. Run, ride the bicycle, find your old roller-skates, whatever. If you don’t want to go outside, you might try doing push-ups and sit-ups. For example, try completing the 100 push-ups challenge.

2) Take up a hobby. Collect rocks, cook (until your food is actually eatable ), knit, anything that suits you. When I was bored, I learned how to bend my fingertips, it was quite fun.

3) Learn to play a musical instrument. Learning to play the piano, violin or something else is hard, but when you get the hang of it, it will be fun. But it takes time to learn, so you must also be patient.

4) Read a book. A good book is enjoyable and takes time. My most recent book(s) was Trudi Canavan’s “Black Magician” trilogy. Those took 4 days for me to read (from cover to cover, of course), but for some people could take weeks. Or find some interesting (Internet) comics.

5) Solve the Rubik’s Cube. It is a hard challenge on your own, but with Internet tutorials quite do-able. Try to beat your own record, until your fingers just can’t move any faster.

6) Clean your house. It’s a boring job, but when you’ve got time to kill, why not?

7) Read articles on the Internet.
