Interesting activities on the Internet. What to do if you're bored at the computer

Useful tips

Hello everyone from Artem Bukanov and Sasha Bogdanova.

Today we asked ourselves: in fact, every single person is bored, and this happens more than once or twice in a lifetime. And absolutely everyone at this moment asks the question: what can you do at home when you’re bored?

Therefore, you should resolve this situation and stock up on a hundred ways to relieve boredom. The only people who don’t get bored are the children on vacation, but we, adults, don’t get bored from this.

So let's take a look...

Immediately, looking ahead, I want to point out that some of these methods will be effective, some will be voiced for fun, some will suit everyone, regardless of gender and age, others will suit a certain category of people. But first things first…

Banal remedies for the blues

What can you do when you're bored at home? This question is asked by many people, but, oddly enough, many of them most often remain in a sad state, having done nothing to change their mood.

But this is not our case! Here are options that can be used by everyone and in most common cases:

to watch a movie
delicious food
Internet surfing in search of something interesting
get stuck on social media networks (today almost everyone can do this)
chat with an interesting person
make new acquaintances (you won’t get bored together)
admire the window (if you have any suitable look out of him)
remember loved ones
collect your thoughts (there may be unfinished business)
make a to-do list (if you have them and you decide to get rid of them)
plan necessary purchases
admire the stars (preferably at night)
admire the sky (this can be done at any time of the day and in any weather)
go to sleep (in general, advice to all)
make yourself tea/coffee (it’s not a fact that it will relieve boredom, but it will distract you a little and, perhaps, lead to interesting thoughts over a cup of hot drink)
read your horoscope
listen to music
take a bath
play computer games(the thing is, of course, interesting and addictive, but not everyone will take it up/not suitable for everyone)
sit by the fireplace (this is not heaven, and not everyone has one)
cook something tasty and unusual
go in for sports (for an amateur)
invite friends (which will be discussed later)

Options for the company

I’ll say right away that it is highly advisable to try the following points in a company, because they imply that you invited someone to visit in advance or visited someone yourself.

So, let's go... things to do with friends:

Board games
fool around (although you can do it alone)
take interesting tests (you can also do this alone, but it’s much more fun in company, so you’ll immediately forget about boredom)
start an interesting debate (I emphasize: INTERESTING, and not a path to a fight; we still live in a civilized society, right?!)

What should girls do?

In this part, I will probably offer options (although, of course, a girl in my place would offer much more) for girls. What you can do alone or with a friend when you get bored:

gossip (unfortunately many girls like this :/)
chat on the phone
take care of yourself (there are probably things to do for a week, girls, after all 🙂)
spin in front of the mirror
rummage through the closet

get a loved one (preferably your man)
run from him
be offended that I caught up with you
run away again
take a selfie and post it on social media. networks (or even more than one)
think about why it's boring
tell everyone you're bored
wait…
understand that there are few real friends
...or they don't exist
…at your place
understand that you have you
stop killing yourself
think again about what to do
no, having children out of boredom is thoughtless

Time to rave!

Now we will not talk about that nonsense when you are sick, but when you already begin to suffer from nonsense from boredom. What kind of crazy thoughts do we end up with:

"play schizophrenia"
knock on your neighbors’ wall (and wait for them to knock on your head)
invent your own universe
listen to the clock tick (a la degradation in full swing)
set silence

make an evil laugh
shut your mouth with your hand
grin evilly
look back
laugh ominously again
repeat until you get tired of it
feel sad again
don't forget to conquer the world

For extraordinary natures

In this section I have crammed advice for people who are intelligent, creative, refined, clean-spirited people, and everyone else who has trouble sitting on their butt. Here's what happened:

read a book
start drawing something
play a musical instrument
do embroidery
modeling
dance
think about something important to you
fantasize (dream)

make plans for the future
clean the house
read the news
watch scientific programs
tidy up the room
clean shoes
wash the dishes (in case there is anything)
tidy up your clothes
think about your life
read about other countries
get an encyclopedia (they always have something interesting for any age)
think about great things
reflect on the essence of existence
pray (what? And this has a place among believers)
start creating something
do some handicrafts
rehearse something
origami
start a spring cleaning
sing
rearrange the room

A treasure trove of long-term prospects

Finally, I would like to name a few things that are aimed at creating long-term activities with further obtaining a certain result.

I won’t say that it will really amuse you, but it will definitely bring considerable benefits. Very suitable for those who are often bored, but at the same time do not mind using their time most productively:

include an interesting series (the only one “not particularly useful”, but long-term among these points)
look for a new hobby
take care of your education
have a dream (which will later become a goal)
set a goal for yourself (provided that you start moving towards it)
take up writing
start keeping a diary (not to be confused with writing)
think about changing activities (if you feel that you are not doing your job)
look for a new source of income (it never hurts)
make a piggy bank ()

Well, something like this. Don't blame me if some of the methods were too crazy. However, I would like to know your options in the comments.

And we – Sasha and Artem – say goodbye to you not for long. See you soon!

Now we cannot imagine our life without the Internet. With its help you can not only study, work, but also while away your leisure time in an interesting way.

Probably the most important disadvantage of spending time in world wide web is that personal free hours and minutes go away catastrophically quickly.

They are considered one of the most exciting activities. Different genres of games can interest people different ages, statuses and tastes: some will be attracted by the virtual construction and maintenance of their own farm, others by completing a mission to save humanity.
