10 Tips to combat boredom and make use of TIME

Hi Meenloch,

i am sure there are free online german courses, at least for beginners....if i find a link will post the same. I live here, so get to do those courses...though they are expensive. But sad thing is that without this language i cant even think of volunteeing . There are no courses available in english, so if i want to join be it aerobics or driving classes, i ahve to know the language!
So the necessity made me get into the course after nearly 8 years, that too since i wanted to keep myself not bored in winter...ha ha......

 

Those were very good, Meenloch.

There is a way out for everything. Being monotonous pushes everybody into boredom. Learning or doing something new is one good technique which makes the life very cheerful. The basic characteristic of kids is being in something new. I follow that. So, never feel bored.

Hi Meenloch,
Libraries have lots of free language programs. It might be under the teens section. Logging online , one can check the language programs. I did the conversational spanish . At the end of 12 weeks, it gave me a test and certificate that I can print.

 

Dear Meenaloch
Very good writing.
Yes I am doing what you said. In this way this IL helps me much .I felt very renewated when i showcased my craft interests and my affection with collection of pillayars and all.
I learned multimedia course after I retired from service. Not for making it use. Just I got interest and I learned.
I am visiting nearby orphange and doing the helpupto my limit. Learning Narayaneeyam and bajan songs, going to Thirumala for doing service. So i am now seeing a new world. No question of left alone and bordom.

Recently I had been to Vellore to visit Golden Temple along with my hubby ,son and Daughter-in -law.We returned to Katpadi station for our trip back to Chennai around 2.45PM. We had around three hours wait at the station. We felt we ould have brought our scabble board to pass the time. While my son and hubby happily dozed off most of the time sitting , me and my DIL felt jealous of them that we could not do it and spent most of the time complaining about the heat ,crowd and the unhealthy and uncivilised behaviour of the people at large. Men do seem to have a knack of sleeping at odd hours and at odd places and at odd position.Being feminine does have its disadvantages..How does one get rid of boredom in situations like above?
