10 Things To Do At Home To Overcome Boredom
Everything is closed, canceled or postponed at this point, concerts, sporting events, dining out, and for most people work. So what are we supposed to do with all this free time? It is slowly becoming more and more challenging to come up with activities to do when we are bored. Well, here is a list of 10 things that we can do to overcome boredom.

Do A Puzzle
Now this can be a normal puzzle, a crossword puzzle, or even something like a Rubix cube. The more pieces or words the better. You can do a little bit each day and kill some time while working your brain.

Cook!
It is the perfect time to try out that recipe you've been dying to try. The best part about it is if it turns out awful, you can just pop that frozen pizza in your oven and save the dinner.

Color

Binge A Show

Try Out A New Style
Have you been dying to wear that new dress, or try that cool makeup look? Do it! You will probably rock it and look great, but if you don’t that's okay because really only your dog will be seeing it.

Pamper Yourself

Catch Up On Sleep
Odds are there will never be another time before you retire that you don't have to wake up to an alarm to get ready and leave for work, so take advantage of this time and sleep in every now and then and give yourself some well deserved rest.
