What do you do when you are bored and your usual distractions are not working?

Carissimi · 70-79, F
Set myself a time limit to go do a boring task, and reward myself when it’s done with another distraction that’s more entertaining. Knowing I can finish the boring activity at a certain time makes it easier to do, especially with a reward afterwards. I have to play mind games with myself to get through each Groundhog Day.

Find horrible new distractions like eating junk food till an eyeball pops

Gas up the car and drive
@Pinkstarburst when I found myself doing that, I was young, and still horrified with myself. Dangerous vehicles aren't toys. Go for a walk.
@Roundandroundwego Driving calms me. Windows down and music playing with no specific destination is good for my soul.

That happens so rarely for me I can't recall what I do. I'm so interested in so many things that if nothing else, I read or get lost on Google trying to discover something new about whatever comes to mind. Worst case I go to sleep.

@Stereoguy I did worry about that very thing when I retired, but since then I've found I'm busier and less often bored than when I worked.

They always work, I just do them thinking how I should be doing something productive and useful.
I am never bored, just not ready to initiate the needed.
Distractions are fine to do away with painful moments.

Usually I read or go for a walk. That will always clear my head.

I end up pacing and thinking. Time kind of falls away and i dont realize how long iv been pacing until something changes, like my legs get sore or the sun is going down.
I enjoy a moment of boring, nothing. They lead to actions and exciting times, so be ready.
Boring is usually my goal. Ahhhh, it's quiet!
nothing,you dont have to do anything

@Stereoguy Not super good. Cleaning lady was sick this morning and didn't get here till 10 past 11. She can only work till 1 pm, then goes to her 2nd client. Then she says she will come back at 3 and work till 4:30. I will get gypped at least a half an hour, probably 45 minutes.

I'm exhausted and all I want to do sleep, if I could just stop coughing and sneezing.
