If you’re bored but don’t want to go outside, here are some fun ideas to keep you entertained:
1. Get Creative – Try painting, drawing, or digital art. If you’re into writing, start a short story, poem, or journal entry.
2. DIY Projects – Craft something new, like making jewelry, decorating your space, or upcycling old clothes.
3. Try a New Recipe – Cook or bake something delicious, whether it’s a new dessert or a fun snack.
4. Learn Something New – Watch interesting documentaries, take an online class, or try a new language.
5. Game Time – Play video games, board games (if you have company), or puzzle games on your phone or tablet.
6. Music & Dance – Learn a new dance routine, create a playlist, or try making your own music.
7. Comedy Break – Watch stand-up comedy, funny videos, or sitcoms to lighten your mood.
8. Mind Games – Try brain teasers, riddles, or logic puzzles. Crossword puzzles and Sudoku are great too!
9. Virtual Hangout – Call or video chat with friends and family for a fun catch-up session.
10. Organize & Refresh – Rearrange your room, declutter, or try a new aesthetic for your space.
11. Movie or TV Marathon – Pick a theme (sci-fi, rom-com, thriller) and binge-watch something fun.
12. Write a Letter – Send an old-school letter or email to a friend, or even write a letter to your future self!
13. Meditate or Relax – Try a guided meditation, breathing exercises, or light yoga indoors.
14. Tackle a Challenge – Solve a Rubik’s cube, learn a magic trick, or try a new skill like juggling.
15. Read Something New – Get lost in a book, audiobook, or an interesting article on a topic you love.

What kind of activities do you usually enjoy?

3. add a paragraph to the story I'm writing
4. scribble in a notebook
5. binge watch a series
6. pick a random movie and watch it
7. clean the house
8. maybe go for a swim
9. play video games
10. card games
11. board games
12. sort the cupboards
13. draw or doodle
14. colour a picture
15. play a song and sing along as well as you can
16. snuggle or play with a pet
17. search random things on the web like "What are the worst movie mistakes ever?" etc.
18. take a nap
19. daydream
20. do a hobby like knitting or crocheting etc.

I don't like doing much outside when I'm bored, so unless it's really hot and there's somewhere where I can swim, I just stay inside.

I do recommend going outside, but you don’t have to. But, it is kinda cold this winter, so it wouldn’t be too hot out. Maybe you can go golfing, which is my plan, or Do something else. Maybe you hold try it!

id love to do something, however its dark and cold, there's no buses between 4pm and 6am, I don't have any friends nearby, there's no coffee shops etc in the village I live in and the thought of going to a pub alone is terrifying, and the thought of doing something active is a bit of a turn off tbh, doesn't help that I'm creatively burned out and have finished my fave shows.

so I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do home alone, does anyone have some suggestions?

You can study, watch movies or TV series alone, play shooting games like Cryzen or Minecraft like games like vectaria.io, read helpful articles or bake something. Anything sounds like productive to you 🎮📝🎧🍿.

Google your childhood crush to find out what they're doing today. Or research you family heritage like in a family tree. If that made you feel like it, you could try 'stream of consciousness' writing

I like to crochet, but writing is also a good option. Sometime I write short horror stories, or a small comedy skit.

It's raining today so I am going to make homemade dog treats for my pups. Maybe you could bake something? Or if you don't like cooking, read a book or listen to music.

Y don't you try out yoga? It's fun, you can use youtube tutorials, and you get fit! You don't even need a yoga mat, you can just do in on a bed.
