THOSE DAYS

Boring days at work.  We've all had them, and if you haven't..where do you work and are you hiring?  I used to pine for an hour of down time to scroll through Bloglovin or peruse the Nordy Sale.  No longer.  I am now wishfully hoping for a productive work day.  Anytime I am given a new deal or if I am given a piece of new information for an active deal, I get so excited.  But alas, the work only lasts me about an hour and back to the boring-ness I go.  I've asked if there is anything extra I can do.  More than a couple times.  I've also noticed co-workers on news websites.  More than a couple times.  So, I'm beginning to think it isn't just me.

After about two weeks of researching "Can you die of boredom?" (Fact: worst is that you can go cross-eyed..you won't die..but that's still not something I want to happen), I decided I needed to make a long list of things, productive things, to do throughout the day:

1)  Update your resume
 
2)  Balance your checkbook and make a budget
 
3)  Make a list of books you want to read (don't do the actual reading at work, I've heard that's not very profesh ;)
 
4) Email that friend you've been meaning to email
 
5)  Come up with a menu for the week and write out the grocery list
 
6)  Update your address book
 
7)  Re-learn all the state capitals..you laugh, but try naming them
 
8)  Write your grandparents a "Thinking of You" card
 
9)  Plan your outfits for the week
 
10)  Start that blog you've been meaning to start
 
11)  Pray/meditate (eyes open)
 
12)  Read your local news website
 
13)  Write down something you are thankful for
 
14)  Schedule your next haircut/doctor appt/dentist appt/etc.
 
15)  Plan that vacation you've been meaning to plan
 
16)  Clean out your purse/wallet
 
17)  Memorize a Bible verse
 
18)  Research the new restaurtants/shows/events/etc. in your city
 
19)  Text your parents
 
20)  Don't text that boy you've been kinda talking to..he'll pretend he's actually busy at work (he's not) and it'll just make you feel even worse about not being busy
 
Last but not least, put it all into perspective.  You have a job, in the air conditioning, that pays your bills.  Take a few minutes to reflect on that, then repeat.
