Weekend… rest day. I know you will agree with me that when you are at home, boredom can strike anytime. You can do productive things, but of course everyone needs recreational activities every now and then to relax and enjoy right?
We are actually blessed to live in this generation where technology such as internet, smartphones, laptops, tablets, and smart Tvs are very much accessible. If you know how to maximize these, there are so many fun things that you can do online. Check out these five online activities to enjoy when you are at home to reduce boredom.
1.STREAM MOVIES OR TV SERIES
Who wouldn’t want a good movie or series? especially when you are binge-watching them at the comforts of your home. This is one of the simplest and easiest way to entertain yourself. You can do it on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer or smart TV. Lot’s of streaming channels to choose from-YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ just to mention a few.
So wherever you are in your house as long as you have internet connection, you can have complete access to these platforms for your entertainment and convenience.
2. PLAY FUN ONLINE GAMES
First-person shooter games, strategy, board and puzzle games, money games and a whole lot more. When it comes to online games, there are plenty of game choices that you can choose from. And lots of them are also free. Though most of these free online games are quite annoying at times because ads kept on popping up when you are playing.
Good thing I found some fun and FREE online games that are ad-FREE so you can enjoy every game to keep that boredom away.
1.TWIN THE BIN– This fun 3-minute recycling game is something that you can enjoy playing at the same time you’ll be able to appreciate how to take care of the environment thru sortation of recyclable materials such as bottles, paper, organic goods, and glass-the fun way!.
The game’s interface is so easy to navigate and understand. It’s a game of accuracy and speed where each round you’ll be task to collect specific recyclable materials falling from the conveyor. 20 points if you catch the correct ones and if you collected the wrong item, you’ll lose 10 points each wrong item.
Kids and kid-at-heart will definitely love this game. Sound effect is ok, but I think it is much better if they will add a background music to it to make every game even more pumped up. But overall, it is still a good game that I will play over and over.
2.OFFICE FIGHT: The pressure is on as you have to race against time in this throwing battle game. The faster you throw paper balls and hit your coworkers, the better.- before they hit you.
Each enemy you hit earns you money that you can use to purchase upgrades.(Rulers cost $1,000, pencils cost $2,000, erasers cost $4,000, books cost $8,000 and computer monitors cost $10,000.). Once you get hit, you’ll lose health which reflects at the health status bar. On the other hand, each time you hit an enemy you’ll gain back your health bit by bit.
TIP: If you see a mouse running down the center of the screen, hit it to gain 200 points.
Warning, this game is kinda addicting-in a good way! 🙂 It was really a fun game to play. Definitely a boredom killer.
3. Listen to Podcasts
Still bored? why not listen to podcasts? Podcasts are a good source of entertainment. There are a lot of selections out in the internet. It could be about personal growth, personal finance, relationships, music, tutorial, and a whole lot more that can help improve your skills, knowledge or just purely just for entertainment. You have the option to listen online or download it to your device.
4. Take an Online Class/Webinars
When boredom strikes, maybe you want to use that free time to good use, to up skill yourself, and be more productive. You might want to consider taking an online class. Good thing now that there are lots of free and paid online classes that you can sign-up to upgrade your skills. If you like cooking and baking, sign up for cooking/baking class. If you are into money and stocks, there are webinars for that as well and so on.
There’s nothing bad in trying to learn new things. Encourage and challenge yourself to continuously learn to reach your full potential. Aim higher!
5. Write an Online Journal
Boredom can take a toll in your mental and emotional health. If you are thinking of other ways to fight boredom, why not try writing- which you can also use as a form of therapy. You may try old school style- paper journal, or do a digital journal.
Writing your day to day experiences or random ideas is a very nice way to pass the time. It would help you clear your mind at the same time help you collect your thoughts, and allows you to have creative ideas. To make your daily journal more fun, you may add some artworks to it. That would be nice.
