On Wednesday, I admitted that when I'm left to my own devices, I often don't know what to do with myself. So I decided it was time to make a list of things that I can do — either alone or with a friend — when I'm bored or when Matt isn't around. Some of these may require a little more planning (or looking up what's available in your city), but some are good spur-the-moment ideas.
I'd love for you to add your ideas to the comments! Let's never be bored again! :)
• Go to an open mic night
• Look for buried treasure at a thrift store
• Play basketball/tennis/golf with a friend (or whatever sport you like!)
• Go for a walk and get lost
• Eat somewhere you've been wanting to try
• Go to a movie
• Try a totally new drink at your favorite bar
• Do something you've never done before
• Dye your hair
• Work on a craft project you've been putting off
• Catch up on a TV show or activity your partner hates
• Visit a local museum
• Take a class
• Start planning a party you can throw
• Try to recreate a dish you had at a restaurant
• Have a water-gun fight
• Volunteer
• Listen to live music
• Go salsa dancing
• Rent an old, classic movie (check your library, or find one on Netflix)
• Go stargazing
• See a comedy show
• Journal (on paper! the computer doesn't count!)
• Find a new favorite coffee shop (Starbucks doesn't count either)
• Go on a day trip to a nearby city you haven't visited before
What would you add to the list? Are you going to do any of these activities this weekend?
