Idle Time Can Create Unnecessary Drama - 4 Things You Can Do to Avoid Future Trouble
Whether home all alone or hanging out with friends, if someone claims, "I'm bored." You just might want to do some things to avoid potential trouble.
Most people end up with all sorts of drama in their lives, because they just don't know what to do with their free time if it isn't being dictated by someone else. From the child with a busy parent or the spouse who has lost his job, when one has much idle time on his or her hands, he or she must do something about it and sometimes wrong decisions will be made. So here are some things you might want to do to avoid future drama at home.
1. Avoid inappropriate websites. You know the ones that if someone walked in and saw what you were looking a relative or friend would freak. List things that you can improve on and look those things up. What have you been putting off lately?
2. Ignore relatives and friends who you know are trouble. The day you finally decide to go out with Loser Lonny is the day that he is going to get you to do something you know you have no business doing. Don't fall into the temptation of riding in someone's car just because you are bored. If you don't know where you are going or what you might doing when you get there, you are already in trouble.
3. Say no to the offer of drugs, alcohol, sex, and whatever else that might cause a future dispute with someone close to you. Addictions creep up on the unsuspecting because it all started with a tempting offer and before long you just can't get enough. Avoid trouble from the start and you won't have to worry over lies told, broken hearts, and other future issues.
4. Find something to do. Maybe you haven't bothered to think hard enough on what you could be doing other than feeling bored. A simple walk and some time to one's self of doing nothing will generate some thoughts on what you could be doing. Take a pen and pad out and start jotting down some notes. Make a To Do list. Write how you feel about different people, places and things. If your thoughts might be hurtful to someone else, pen them, but then shred or tear up notes afterward. You will experience a sense of peace.
Just think of the many people who are in jail now because they allowed selfish desires of wanting to escape boredom get the best of them.

Bored Children - Move Them Away from their Screens
The longer you sit before any screen, the more likely you won't do anything you should be doing. People who often feel bored usually procrastinate. They don't tend to the business at hand or they are so involved with whatever is boring them to tears that they avoid doing anything else that needs to get done.
When it comes to children, the more structured their time, the better. Well the same is true for adults. If you know what is expected of you each day, you don't have to worry too much about being bored. During school breaks, personal days, and vacations, I have planned my days as well as my children's and we got a lot of stuff done. I also utilized free time to introduce them to new things instead of letting them play games all day.
Below are a couple of my children doing something other than video game playing. At times we can forget about the things we introduced them to, but simply reminding yourself of your schedule and posting it for all to see will get you back on track!
Remember to limit the amount of time you permit them to learn something new so they won't get bored with the activity. Also, be positive about it and hopefully they will appreciate what you are teaching them.
