Being bored and stuck at home is really a torture. It creates emptiness in you, disrupts your concentration, kills your happiness and makes you feel anxious. "Netflix and chill" or browsing social media is okay, but you can't really do these all day long. So, here's the list of things you can do to make your boredom productive.
Read a book: Reading a book is the most perfect way to kill boredom. As they say, “Through books, you can travel the whole World without moving an inch!" A good novel can literally transport you into a whole new World. Also it improves your concentration level and communication skills.
Listen to music: It's always fun to listen to music. Music offers you a great companionship and it has the healing power for almost any mental issue. Now, as you have a lot of free time, try to explore different genres of songs. For example, if you always listen to western music, now is the perfect time to explore folk music.
Watch movies: Binge watching web series on Netflix is fun. But, now you can use your free time to check out films from different languages. Try watching films of directors like Tarkovsky, Godard, Kurosawa, Jafar Panahi, Bergman and get yourself exposed to a new World of Cinema.
Learn a new skill: What can be better than using your boredom to learn a new skill? Just go to YouTube and learn anything that interests you. You can watch educational videos, documentary or even learn a new language that will help you in your next trip.

Get a makeover: Yes, this is the most perfect time to think about your looks. Try some home remedies to improve your skin and hair quality. Do some Yoga and make yourself more attractive. Also, watch some YouTube videos, collect fashion ideas and try some new styles. Trust me, it's a lovely way to kill boredom.
Clean your room: If you're feeling bored and having plenty of free time, the most productive thing you can do is clean your room. Clean your clothes, shoes, bathroom, kitchen, bookshelf etc and decorate your room. I promise, these tasks will fill your heart with joy and satisfaction.
Also you can make a photo collage, paint anything on a canvas, write a blog, do some meditation, plan your next trip or simply play video games to kill your boredom and be happy.
