What to Do When Bored

Bored While Self-Isolating? Here’s What to Do When Bored!

COVID-19. The virus that’s changing the world as we know it. A bit dramatic?

Maybe, but that doesn’t mean that a lot of things aren’t changing because of the novel coronavirus.
I mean, have you seen the stores recently?

Every time I go out, I feel like I’m in an episode of the walking dead. No bread, no milk, and no – hey, surprise! – toilet paper!

That’s actually funny. People think the world is ending and the first thing they worry about isn’t food or shelter, it’s how they’re going to wipe their arses.

I can go on and on about the toilet paper madness, but that’s a tale for another day. Today,

I want to address something more important: quarantine and self-isolation.

Well, I don’t want to discuss them per se, but rather what one can do while he or she is stuck at home. More precisely, we’ll go over what to do when bored, isn’t that exciting?

Yes, staying at home may sound like a dream come true for some (I’m looking at you, introverts), but it can become boring pretty fast.

And once you start feeling bored and unproductive a couple of days in, well, that’s when things can go downhill.

Worry not, though, as, once you finish this quiz, you’ll know exactly what to do when bored to make use of your free time at home.
