What are the things you do to make yourself busy?

To be frank,I am already busy with my business from morning to evening.By evening I am left extremely tired,but sitting idle watching tv is not in my nature.If I sit idle,I feel bore.So I either go out on a long walk so that I may remain fit.or,if I don't feel like walking,I start reading any from my choicest of books.When it's a holiday and banks are closed,I study Sanskrit.For the last four days I have started studying this classical language.My wife asks me to take a nap to avoid tiredness,but if I sleep,I would have to spend a sleepless night.I participate in Mylot in the morning before leaving for my business.

sometimes if i really have nothing to do i usually spent my time surfing the net or playing computer games

My husband pesters me so much when he's home that I really enjoy the times when he is not here. I get so much more done when he's gone than when he's here. I never have to think of things to keep me busy, there is always so much I want to do. I don't normally have enough time to do everything I want so I take full advantage of my time when my husband is not here. I cook, bake, do craftwork, gardening (when the weather permits) or just playing with my indoor plants, I have a small business that I work on so much better when I'm alone, I spend more time with my two dogs, watch whatever I want on TV, read books I've put off because there wasn't enough time before, all kinds of things. My husband was home all day yesterday because of a bad snowstorm we had and I was unable to get anything done. I'm so glad he's back at work today!

hi bhelen, I can say my life is kinda busy with many stuffs to do everyday actually I never run out of errands to do specially if Mom is around . Keep your self busy here in mylot happy mylotting

Hi bhebelen! Being separated from our love ones is really hard but we have to do this thing for our future. Personally, I don't find any boring moment when I started working online. I am always busy. Staying with myLot alone can make so much of our time. So just keep on participating and you will not get bored anymore. Have a nice day!

I read a lot, I mylot, I go to the theatre, I go for walks, I go scrapbooking, I blog or write a journal, I write poems and stories...

I like to learn something new, especially a new language. To do the things well, usually require a lot of time, attention, energy and even money, so I will focus on the thing for I want to get more than I have paid. So I will be too busy to think about another things. Now as I am new in workplace, to forget the stress, I try to work hard and forget the unhappiness being a newcomer.

When I am at home and my husband isn't there I usually do the housework first and then I read, spend time online or spend the time in my crafts room. I borrow many books at the library so I always have new books to read. A really intereting novel is a great way to keep me busy. On the internet I always able to find something to do. I visit my favourite sites, watch videos on YouTube and chat with my friends on Facebbook. I also like to visit online galleries or other websites about art. Sometimes I decide to spend the time in my crafts room. I am always working at some projects there for instance drawings, paintings, handmade cards or decoupage. I use pictures from old magazines in my art and when I have some free time I go through the old magazines and pick out the pictures that I can use.

Missing someone does leave that void to fill in our lives. I find that doing the chores we have put off and spending time with others can fill that void and keep ourselves busy. Before we know it our loved ones will be back and we will not have to miss them any longer.

It is good sometimes to be alone from time to time.. to balance life..

Being alone is all I ever dream. Given a chance like you maybe will be a big celebration for me...Lol I will soon go to spa, have my hair treatment and full body massage. Or if I feel to stay at home I will sure grab my books, or have a movie marathon while having my favorite hawaiian pizza. But before anything else I will make sure the house is clean, finished the laundry etc.

Well,there are many ways to get busy.But it all depends on you and your interests and aspirations.First of all,you told you are trying to get busy online.Try online opportunities to make some income.Keep a target on things and work towards those goals.It would be very challenging.Explore new ways to earn money online.Plus explore new things that can be done at home.Water plants or grow a new hobby.Even turning attention to fitness and health is great way to keep busy.There are many who does not care of health.But keeping new routines in life definitely helps.For me, i spend sometime online and health and also make investments and look onto the plans.It really keeps me on toes and there are days i have felt 24 hours are not enough to get things moving.Do not over do things and come to a point of too much overloading.This could lead to frustration and ultimately to breakdown and laziness.It has happened to me a few times.But the aim should be to achieve some goal and not something easily achievable.That should keep anyone busy for a good amount of time.Remember time and tide does not wait for anyone.Make every second and day count towards something productive which will help you in long term.Thanks!

I never run out of chores. It seems that I will forever be a busy housewife. However, whenever I have idle moments, I read ebooks, play my guitar or keyboard, read my bible, chat or call loved ones using viber or skype. And yes, I also do the things that you usually do like baking cookies (especially my favorite oatmeal cookies), experiment on recipes and write or blog. I also do scrapbooking occasionally and watch TV series.

Happens to me often cause my wife works in an office nearby and I work from home as a translator. So usually when I can't "get rid" of our 2 year old son to work home alone I have to spend time with him. He just won't let me my touch my laptop :) So I usually read a book while he watches his cartoons or just plays around. I also enjoy preparing something tasty for diner. It lets me and my boy work in a company and have fun + my wife won't have to cook when she comes back home and it will make her happy just sit back and have a rest :)

I think there are many things that can keep me busy and from boring. One is reading. I like reading books on Kindle. Currently I have several books ready to be read. One of them is entitled "Influence". Reading brings me a lot of fun since I can see more from it. Another thing is doing exercise. Usually I gain more weight during winter, so it is necessary to loss some weight for the coming summer. Besides I feel that it makes me healthier. Recently I'm interested in learning foreign languages such as Japanese. Since I love watching Japanese animations very much, I kind of want to know its language. Well, I just become lazy sometimes and watching moves or TVs is so nice for me at those times. My BF and I stay together for most of the time. When we're in different places I try something I'm interested in and have fun as well.

Airport goodbyes are really dramatic. Good thing you decided not to send him. Well now that he is not home and you have some time for yourself. If I were you I woould pamper myself like have manicure and pedicure by myself. Do home facial treatment. I think I would continue my cross-stitching. I would do some general cleaning of the house. Maybe bake something. Then call my friends and go out with them. But now that I have a child, I would stay at home, look after my daughter. Maybe I'll just ask my friends to come over to our house.

I spend nearly every free minute at the sewing machine, whether the man of the house is here or not. Since he doesn't drive, he's always here, or I'm taking him somewhere.

Going out to meet friends, watching movies, surfing internet...i think there are many things you can do to enjoy your alone time.

Well my husband is away from us now for two months because he was assigned in another place and i was really sad in the first week thankfully there's my son so I am busy as well to take care of my son.. I keep my self busy with household chores and when I have free time I usually do my online activities.. I also want to be productive as well so I will not think of my husband being far away from us ..

Invite some friends over and party! ;)
