We’ve all been there; you’re stuck at home with nothing to do and feeling a little bored. You’d like to go out, but for whatever reason, that isn’t going to happen. You wish you had a magic list of things you could do right now to keep yourself entertained. Never fear, we’ve got your back with this handy list of five ways that you can entertain yourself at home.

• Read a book 

Yes, we know this may not be the most fashionable or popular option, but reading is most definitely back in style. You can pull out one of those paperbacks you’ve been meaning to read for the past few years but never had the time, or you can find something new to download and read digitally. We found this great list of sites of free digital reads for you to check out.

• Play games online

These days it is perfectly acceptable for adults to spend time playing games online. Many online websites offer free and fun games with cheerful concepts that don’t take much to learn how to play. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even try your hand at some online casino games and possibly win yourself a tidy sum for the day.

• Rearrange your furniture

This idea may sound like hard work, but as the saying goes, “a change is as good as a holiday.” If you’re feeling bored, sprucing up your surroundings and adding a little feng shui to your life can help get those creative juices flowing.

• Try a new recipe

Break out those dusty old recipe books or find a recipe online, then fire up that oven and get cooking. If you’ve never fancied yourself as a good cook, honing this skill could be the perfect boredom buster for you.

• Binge watch your favourites

Gone are the days of flipping channels looking for something to watch or trawling the aisles of the video store to find a title you haven’t seen yet. The rise of streaming services has given us more convenient access to movies and TV series than ever before. Whether you find a new series to tuck into, rewatch an old favourite or get started on a movie marathon, services like Netflix and Showmax can offer you a fantastic array of content without ever having to leave home.

 

Whatever you decide to do with your day at home, we hope that this list helps to curb the boredom and set you up for a fun and productive day.
