These moments of absolute boredom might seem like a great time to take a quick nap, but there are plenty of other more productive things to do when bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down below, we\u2019re going to go over a few categories that might need some attention in your workplace, and add a few helpful tips on how to make the most of your free time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 50 productive things to do when bored:<\/p>\n<h2>Emails<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1. Read your emails<br \/>This might seem like something that should be a part of your workflow, and for the most part, it should, but it never hurts to go back through and check your emails.<\/p>\n<p>2. Clear out your spam folder<br \/>We all get those random emails for different newsletters and advertisements. Now is a good time to go through everything that you deem worthy of being kept, and deleting everything else.<\/p>\n<p>3. Email contacts<br \/>Since you don\u2019t have any other work you could be doing, it would only seem appropriate to look for some. Email those potential clients and see what kind of projects they\u2019re up to. Take any opportunity to fill your schedule with activities that can make you some money!<\/p>\n<p>4. Organize your email folder<br \/>There are plenty of emails that you want to read, but they\u2019re just a little too long for to read in that moment. Since you have the down time, make a quick folder to throw those emails into so that you can find them easily later.<\/p>\n<p>5. Email colleagues<br \/>Now is the perfect time to make sure you\u2019re actually caught up with everything that needs to be done. If you\u2019re sitting around wondering what there is to do, then other colleagues might be as well. Email around and ask if anyone needs some help, or if they have any ideas on productive things to do when bored.<\/p>\n<h2>Tidy Up<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>6. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinpointnews.net\/wordpress\/the-importance-of-a-clean-workplace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clean your workspace<\/a><br \/>If you spend a lot of time in your office or at your desk, odds are that it can get quite messy. Take this opportunity to throw away that candy wrapper that\u2019s been sitting behind your lamp for a week.<\/p>\n<p>7. Organize your workspace<br \/>Number 6 and 7 deserve their own mentions because a clean space doesn\u2019t always mean an organized one. Sort files, arrange paper clips and sticky notes, and make a designated place for that pen you\u2019re always looking for.<\/p>\n<p>8. Make a list of things you need<br \/>Now that you\u2019ve cleaned and organized your desk, you\u2019ve probably realized that you\u2019re short on a few supplies. Make a list of what you need for a shopping trip later.<\/p>\n<p>9. Get rid of the things you don\u2019t need<br \/>Listen, that stapler that gets jammed every other staple just isn\u2019t cutting it anymore. Toss it in the trash and add it to your new list.<\/p>\n<p>10. Commit to keeping everything clean and organized<br \/>Now that you\u2019ve gone through all your messy drawers and filing cabinets, make an active effort to keep everything nice and tidy. It only takes a few seconds each day to make your space look way more professional.<\/p>\n<h2>Organize\/clean your computer<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11. Clean out your desktop<br \/>You don\u2019t honestly need all those screenshots. It might take a little extra time, but seriously go through and start deleting files that you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n<p>12. Update passwords<br \/>If you\u2019ve had the same password for all your logins for a while, you might want to consider changing them. Make a note in your phone or on a notepad so that you don\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n<p>13. Make sure you\u2019re up-to-date<br \/>During the day, when you use your computer the most, running an update just isn\u2019t the most productive thing to do. Now that you have a moment of freedom, updating your desktop won\u2019t set you back.<\/p>\n<p>14. Actually clean your computer<br \/>Give the keyboard a once-over and clean out all the dust and crumbs that have been collecting there for a while. Wipe down your monitor, and if you\u2019re tech savvy, see if the computer internals need a quick clean.<\/p>\n<p>15. Organize your files<br \/>Just like you should organize your emails, you should have your files organized, too. Make different folders for different projects and data. Spend some time to organize now and save yourself tons of time later when you really need those files.<\/p>\n<h2>Work on professional development<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>16. Read a book to inspire you<br \/>There are lots of helpful books out there to inspire you in your career. Reading about how to better yourself in your career is a perfect way to be productive.<\/p>\n<p>17. Watch motivational videos<br \/>Admittedly, we can all get a little carried away on YouTube, but if you limit yourself, there are lots of helpful channels to help better your work tactics.<\/p>\n<p>18. Jot down some goals<br \/>Goals in your career work a lot like milestones. They break your career into sections so that you can go step-by-step to the top.<\/p>\n<p>19. Draw a SWOT matrix<br \/>Whether you work with a team or solo, a SWOT matrix is a very <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-swot-analysis-in-project-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">effective tool<\/a> for determining the direction of your projects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6584 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/TW-PINTREST-PIN-NOV-02.jpg\" alt=\"Bored at work? Here are 50 productive things to do when bored. These tasks will help you get ahead in your career and stand out at the office. #productivityhacks #workproductivity\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>20. Do your research<br \/>If you\u2019re using some sort of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"time tracking\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">time tracking<\/a> or project management tool online, do some research to find out if the tools you\u2019re using are the right ones for you. Online tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/plan\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toggl Plan<\/a> offer free trial versions so that you know what you\u2019re getting into before you buy it.<\/p>\n<p>21. Learn a new program<br \/>After you\u2019ve done your research, and you\u2019ve found a new tool that can help you, spend some time learning how to use it. Even if it\u2019s a program that you\u2019re already using, go over some of the shortcuts and hotkeys to make your life easier.<\/p>\n<p>22. Take an online class<br \/>There are lots of online career courses online nowadays. Some of them are even free to take.<\/p>\n<p>23. Email a colleague or boss and ask where you can improve<br \/>This is sort of a bold move, but you\u2019ll only benefit from it. As the old saying goes, \u201cThere\u2019s always room for improvement.\u201d You may not even realize it, but there might be an area of your workflow that your colleagues and mentors believe you can improve in.<\/p>\n<p>24. Meditate<br \/>Work can be stressful sometimes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headspace.com\/science\/meditation-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meditation can relieve a lot of that stress<\/a>. If given the chance, take a breather and relax.<\/p>\n<p>25. Download an audiobook<br \/>If you drive to work, take advantage of the commute. Find an audiobook that you think you\u2019d enjoy and listen to it on the way home.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn to be a leader<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>26. Manage up<br \/>The idea of managing up involves taking initiative. If you see something that needs to be done, and no one else has time to do it, then by all means, do it.<\/p>\n<p>27. Ask your boss how you can help<br \/>Your boss has a very busy schedule. There are some ways you can help that may be obvious, but you can always ask.<\/p>\n<p>28. Study management tactics<br \/>Even if you\u2019re not already a manager, you can always find ways to improve and show the higher-ups that you\u2019re capable of more responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>29. Read articles on leadership tactics<br \/>There are plenty of articles online to choose from. Absorb as much information as you can.<\/p>\n<p>30. Build a presentation of your ideas<br \/>Do you have an idea that you think will put your company on top? Start building a presentation for stakeholders, clients, and your boss to show them what you\u2019re all about.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan ahead<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>31. Review your upcoming schedule<br \/>It\u2019s always a good idea to know what projects are ahead. Review your upcoming schedule so that you can plan your next few days accordingly. <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/plan\/use-cases\/project-planning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toggl Plan offers a zoom feature<\/a> that allows you to check on your schedule up to a week, month, 3 months, and a year.<\/p>\n<p>32. Organize your schedule<br \/>If you\u2019ve found discrepancies in your schedule, now is the time to fix them.<\/p>\n<p>33. Look for new opportunities<br \/>You should always have your eyes on a potential projects, but now\u2019s a good time to actually pursue them.<\/p>\n<p>34. Create a new challenge<br \/>Challenge yourself to finish your work fast, but keep high standards.<\/p>\n<p>35. Update\/create a checklist<br \/>You can\u2019t remember everything. If you\u2019ve already created a checklist, go over what\u2019s already been completed and cross it off. If you haven\u2019t created a checklist, look into Toggl Plan\u2019s checklist feature that allows you to keep a close eye on every step of a project.<\/p>\n<h2>Relax<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>36. Take the rest of the day off<br \/>This might sound like the exact opposite of productive, but the reality is that you sometimes just need to recharge your batteries. You can\u2019t focus and be productive if you\u2019re mentally and physically drained.<\/p>\n<p>37. Take a walk<br \/>Go for a walk, even if it\u2019s just through the office. If you work remotely, perfect! Go for a little walking break around the block.<\/p>\n<p>38. Drink some water<br \/>Hydration is important. When our bodies lack water, we become tired and sluggish. Water can refresh us.<\/p>\n<p>39. Eat a healthy snack<br \/>Just like water, healthy food is important, too. If you\u2019re eating a lot of sugar throughout the day, then you\u2019ll eventually crash.<\/p>\n<p>40. Rest your eyes<br \/>This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean taking a nap, but simply closing your eyes can take the strain caused by the computer screen off of your eyes, even if it\u2019s just for a moment.<\/p>\n<h2>Train your brain<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>41. Write a journal<br \/>Writing your thoughts and ideas down is a great way to remember them and even relieve stress.<\/p>\n<p>42. Do a sudoku puzzle<br \/>You might be wondering what this is doing under this topic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifehack.org\/articles\/lifestyle\/level-up-your-brain-power-with-sudoku.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sudoku puzzles<\/a> can improve your thinking skills &#8211; a big help for anyone in any industry.<\/p>\n<p>43. Try writing with the opposite hand<br \/>Changing up little details that your brain has gotten used to will improve the way you think. It increases brain stimulation and exercises parts of your brain you may not have even known existed.<\/p>\n<p>44. Memorize details<br \/>Let\u2019s be honest, there are lots of little details in our daily lives that we just forget. Taking the time to memorize something simple like a poem or clients\u2019 emails and phone numbers will greatly help stimulate the part of your brain that helps you remember.<\/p>\n<p>45. Calculate without a calculator<br \/>Math isn\u2019t everyone\u2019s strong suit, but it\u2019s definitely something we use every day. Try to go over a small budget without using a calculator, but definitely check your work after.<\/p>\n<h2>Practice self-care<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>46. Go to lunch<br \/>We all need a lunch break. Why not take yours when you&#8217;re bored?<\/p>\n<p>47. Get some coffee<br \/>A lot of us can\u2019t function without coffee anymore, and that\u2019s okay. Take your downtime as an opportunity to fill your tank back up.<\/p>\n<p>48. Listen to music<br \/>This one is pretty self-explanatory. Crank those tunes up!<\/p>\n<p>49. Make friends<br \/>It never hurts to have a friendly conversation with a colleague. Ask about someone\u2019s weekend plans or hobbies.<\/p>\n<p>50. Make weekend plans<br \/>What\u2019s the point in making all that money if you can\u2019t spend it? Plan out your weekend and have a little fun!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re having a little trouble staying awake at work, try any or all of these productive things to do when bored. Don\u2019t hesitate to give them a try!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all get a little bored sometimes, especially at work.
