Watch a movie. Try to find a movie that’s playing on TV by looking at the movie showtimes. You can also go online and try to find movies on sites like Netflix or rent movies through an online rental service.

Rediscover an old hobby. Do you have a hobby you haven’t done in a long time? In your spare time, think about what you did in the past. Maybe it’s a knitting or painting activity that you used to enjoy but no longer had time for. If you are bored at home, this is the right time to return to a hobby that has been forgotten. [1] X Research Source
- For example, if you used to love knitting, find old knitting materials and start knitting something.

Read a book. Browse the bookshelf to find a book. Pick a book that excites you right away. Long, deep novels won’t get you straight to the dramatic part. Therefore, you should choose the genre of short stories that make you quickly get caught up in the action. [2] X Research Source
- If you don’t have a book at home, try searching for it using an electronic device like Kindle or iPad. Or, you can buy books online to read.

- If the video game suite has an Internet connection, you can play with other online players. This is a way to help you forget the boredom of being alone at home.
