I write stories, turn bedsheets into curtains, draw, play board games, have an addiction to tetris online, watch shows on netflix streaming, and my number one favorite thing to do is cook or bake.

Start a book series you may be interested in, start working your way through a classic movie series, take up a crafting hobby or photography. That way, when you’re out you can take a bunch of pictures, then when you have to stay home, use that as your uploading and editing time.

Read! Write! Build a fort! Make a musical instrument out of something random and write a song on it! Draw!

Do something that matters to you like: volunteer, make plans for your future, learn to do something you’ve always wanted to do, spend more time with someone you haven’t been able to. Free time is valuable so don’t waste it by thinking of what you can’t do.

We chase after things that we can’t have too often and don’t appreciate the things that we have enough.

I like video games, movies, reading and drawing. I guess that depends on what you enjoy in the first place though. Lots of good suggestions in this thread already.
I also like to nap, when it comes at its worse lol.

I think everything’s already been said. :) Go through photos and start scrapbooking them? Collect recipes that you like and make a recipe book/file. And then makes lists of all the ingredients you’ll need to buy to make the recipes. Tag all the keys in the house or make cute keyrings for them with beads and stuff. Go through your closet and throw out clothes that you really don’t wear anymore, and give them away.

Be ultra-helpful around the house, specifically where your mother is. Get underfoot, ask a ton of questions, be pro-active and do things you think your mother would want done.

At some point she’ll suggest you should get out of the house for a while.

WOOD WORKING, if you can build a doll house you can sell that sucker for $$$$ after you get done.

Boredom is purely a state of mind. My mother used to tell me to go watch the ants, so I did. She also told me to write “bored” on a piece of paper, scrunch it up and throw it away. While I was growing up I incorporated different things into my life like, reading, learning many crafts, baking, cooking and, if you’re REALLY bored, you can always clean the house.

Watch tv, read, or listen to music. Or prank call people, that’s what I do.
