2.Ā Ā Tune into the news channels
Do you feel like the world has gone a little ā¦ well, crazy?
These days, it seems like every minute a new global event or disaster takes place, whether itās in the U.S. or over in a European country. Naturally, it can be difficult to stay up-to-date with these events, particularly the politics-related ones. Thatās why, when youāre bored at home, tuning in to the news channels is always a good idea to pass the time. Youāll immediately become knowledgeable about whatās going on around the world and wonāt have to worry about falling behind current news topics.
3.Ā Ā Sell your old items on eBay
If youāve frequently dreamed about starting your little side hustle, one of the best ways to go about this is by selling your old items on eBay. You can quickly make some money and wonāt have to worry about any complicated business procedures.
So, make sure to examine all your rooms and gather together all your belongings that you no longer like or need. It might be clothes from a few years ago or dĆ©cor thatās collecting dust. Whatever you gather up, the chances are youāll be able to get some dough for it ā as thereās always a buyer out there.
Register your eBay account, plan how youāre going to ship your items and how much youāre going to charge for them, then youāll be good to go.
4.Ā Ā Redecorate your home for the winter
Winter is almost here. For some people, thatās great news. For others, it signifies the end of summer (and the end of nice weather). But whether you like winter or not, you should use it as an opportunity to redecorate your home and give it a nice and cozy feel.
From sprucing up your fireplace to adding some Christmas lights to the front of your house, spend some time getting creative.
5.Ā Ā Update your social media pages
Is your Instagram profile picture from four years ago? Or, is your Facebook page filled with personal details that are no longer relevant? Then you should pass the time by giving your social media pages a deep clean, from removing old (and embarrassing) posts to unfollowing people and pages youāre not interested in anymore. Or, if youāre feeling ambitious, you could make entirely new accounts altogether (but this means youāll have to spend a lot of time re-adding people). Have fun!
