Productive things to do in your 'dead time'

Do you guys ever have that time, usually on the weekend, when you're soo bored and lethargic, but you don't know what to do? I sure do, so I wrote this quick list of things you can do to be a little productive instead:

1//Tidy and or clean your space

It will make you feel so much better. You could even go konmari and have a little declutter

2// Have a glass of water/tea

If you're dehydrated it can increase the lethargic bored feeling

3// Make yourself a proper meal

Cooking is fun when you're not in a rush! Try a new recipe, or make a huge meal and freeze some portions to have during the week

4// Guitar practise

Or any instrument. Practising a skill is so rewarding

5// Study 

6//Write your blog or journal

Don't have one? Start one! Gratitude journalling is proven to make people feel happier, so go! It's also a convenient excuse to buy ALL THE STATIONERY.

7// Read an actual book

or listen to an audiobook. Time away from a screen is a rare commodity these days.

8//Exercise

It will definitely wake you up and make you feel good. Get outside and go for a walk.

9// Paint your nails or do a beauty treatment

I always epilate my arms when I'm bored, makes me look less like wolverine and also feel pampered at the same time

10// Learn a new skill

Touch typing, calligraphy, anything. Even try learning a language!

11//Create something

Try your hand at something arty. Pinterest is your best friend.

12//Plan something to get excited about

Weekend plans, travel, or arrange to see that friend you haven't seen in forever. 

13// Have a nap

Or, if it's late-ish, go have an early night!

Thanks for reading! What do you like to do in your 'dead' time?
