I hardly ever get bored but I have a knack for beating in time. lol This is a good list and alot of these things are things I do.
Oh my goodness I love this list! Especially because winter has hit where I live and it’s always easier to get board this time of year for me!
Harry Potter, all the way baby! 😉
I have two young children and a third on the way, so I am NEVER bored lol. I would love to have time to do some of these things!
Great list!!! With four kids, I rarely find time to be bored, but I actually want to just make time for some of this 🙂
My drawers ALWAYS need reorganizing haha how do they get so crazy??
This is an awesome list! I’m rarely bored, but I love the idea of reminding yourself of all the things you CAN do.
A lot of these I do when I’m bored but you’ve given me some new ideas to try out. Like changing out picture frames.
Awesome List – I have to add run a warm bath, soak, sip wine! Love this…
These are some good ideas. I don’t like when I end up wasting time thinking of things to do when I’m bored!
This is a great list! Although, I am RARELY bored with 3 kids running around my feet. 🙂 I wish I had time to do all these.

These are such great list! Of all these, my favorite is taking a nap! LOL
