COMBAT ‘BOREDOM’ WITH THESE FUN & ENGAGING ACTIVITIES

A wise man, George*, was once heard saying, “There is so much to do in this world, you have no excuse to be bored.” And a wise woman, Anna*, once told her son, “The couch is not an option.” Today, with the imposed confinement and the couch being the most comfortable place to spend most of your day on, breaking the pattern might be a bit more difficult. But there is hope to stay sane, stay fit and stay engaged during confinement.

Firstly, let us reflect on what the confinement has taught most of us:

We magically have more time. But what are we doing with it?
We are working efficiently from home and have time to engage in other activities.
We started exploring new interests. Are we committed to turn them into hobbies?
We are either hooked on the internet or social media – which can be a waste of time. Are we finding interesting things to read? And keeping up with good news to brighten up our day?
We are catching up with friends virtually every day. Quality time has a new meaning.

However, for others, this confinement can bring with it boredom and feelings of hopelessness. So, we’ve compiled a list of engaging, fun and stimulating activities, Youtube channels, links and websites to visit.
