What to do if you are bored?

Okay, so what to do if you are bored and you feel like you don't wanna work or study... However, you still wish to be productive and don't wanna "waste" time.

Make a list of what things can fall into this category and what cannot. It can actually be really huge and have lots of subcategories - for example, indoor and outdoor activities, with friend(s) or alone... You can do different things each time or you can pick up a couple of "aims" for a month and work on them. Say, finish a book, learn a new language or loose some weight...

And in a "black list", write the stuff that you shouldn't be doing when you are bored. For example, I lately watch TV shows, movies or random youtube videos... That's not good - for me, if I don't benefit out of it, than its a pure waste of time. That's why you should be having something ready for you, so that you don't feel bad after spending hours on nothing.

One last important note: make sure that these activities are actually fun for you, because it is boring and you consider it as just another work - you will not do it. For example, finish a SCI-FI book, sing some karaoke in French and dance or play Wii to loose weight :) Good luck!
