What to do when bored?

Tidy your stuff

Usually, we don't have enough time to tidy things up when we are busy. So if you are bored, that means that you have a lot of time on your hands. So why not use that time productively and declutter! Organize your stuff, be it your workspace, your drawers, your wardrobe! Now is the chance to get something done while you have the time! Time is finite, and it is essential not to waste it!

Take an online course.

There are so many free online courses out there. If you are into it, you can get certified as well. Google's digital garage offers certificates for specific classes as well! Why not grab these while you are killing time. There are plenty of other sites to take online courses as well! Coursera, Edx, Futurelearn, Udemy are some of these sites with plenty of free online courses.
