Here is a list of things I do when I'm bored that I'd like to think are productive, but really aren't productive at all. They just get you even more bored, which I hate.
- Facebook. My number one url I type into the search engine, and the biggest waste of my time.
- Reading blogs. Namely, my sister's blog. It's way too funny to give up entirely, but when I visit her blog, I find myself reading all her posts over and over again. You'll know what I mean when you read them.
- Watching The Office. I'm really not a TV-watching person. I rarely turn on the TV and start watching. This action usually only happens when someone else is watching TV, and I'm interested in what they're watching. My roommate is a big fan of The Office, and has a few seasons on DVD. This is probably not a good thing, but I love it.
- Checking the fridge. It's become a habit of mine to check to see what kind of food is in the fridge whenever I'm bored, although I rarely eat anything when I do. I'm not realizing how weird that really is.
- Pacing. If you find me walking aimlessly and redundantly around my apartment, you can know for certain that I am bored.
- Texting my friends. They probably get so annoyed that I text them with nothing to talk about. I should be considerate and stop.
As ashamed I am at this list, I am also proud to admit that I do things that are somewhat productive with my time, too. They are as follows.
- Writing in my journal. My only motivation for this is knowing that hopefully when I'm dead (or at least older), my kids will read it and get a feel for who I really am.
- Reading my scriptures/saying my prayers. I was raised and taught to do this every night, and so I try my hardest to do it every night. Out of everything I do in a day, I think this is the most beneficial.
- Homework. Believe it or not, I do do my homework! And as a result, I just got a 93% on my math test, which made my day. Homework, although boring and frustrating, is important to me.
- Spending time with friends. I've got to develop good, lasting relationships, right?!
Okay, so I need a longer list...
