13 Reasons You Should Never Be Bored

As someone who seems to always has something to do, I have a hard time relating to people who complain about being bored. What is this “boredom” some people speak of, and how is it possible to be it? There are sooo many things one could do with themselves that I won’t even attempt to list them all, but here are thirteen simple reasons alone why no one should ever find themselves with a lack of things to do:

1. Books to read. There’s an (unconfirmed) estimated 3.4 billion books in the world, with hundreds of thousands of new books published every year.
2. Movies to watch. Between the hundreds of thousands movies available to buy or rent and those still yet to come, there’s plenty to watch for a lifetime.
3. TV shows to check out. Some of the best shows ever, like Star Trek The Next Generation, Stargate, ER, Law & Order, etc. have decades of episodes that you can rent or buy.
4. Video Games to beat. They’re not just kids’ play these days. Far from it. There are games with enough complex storylines, characters, puzzles and challenges to thoroughly mentally stimulate any adult. Even if you think you don’t like games, I’m almost certain there’s a type out there that would appeal to you. And there’s plenty of them.
5. Music to Make. Ever thought about learning the drums, piano, guitar or flute? Or even just taking singing lessons?
6. Spend quality time with family and friends. Even if you don’t have kids to build lego cities with or a sweetheart to wine, dine and spend cuddle time with, surely you’ve got a friend or relative who would love to chat or hang out with you. If not, it sounds like you need to get out there and start making some friends.
7. Crafts to master. Such as knitting, sewing, woodworking, photography or writing.
8. Home to improve. Whether it’s your drawers, your cabinets, your closets, or your garage – I KNOW you’ve got something to clean or organize! Or a room that could use a paint job, or a flower bed that needs to be replanted – something. (and if you don’t I’m jealous)
9. Places to go. Parks, museums, fairs, concerts, stores, beaches, restaurants, amusement parks. Towns, cities, states, countries.
10. Things to learn. Recipes, dances, foreign languages, your neighbor’s name
11. Things to try. Rock-wall climbing, ice-skating, tennis, painting, acting
12. Exercise to do. Even if you’re already in great shape, it’s good for your health to stay active
13. Blogs to read. Like this one!
