How much time do you have to kill? If the answer is “a lot,” then this blog post is for you! Here we will discuss 15 ways on how to better spend your time online. This can be helpful if you are in need of a few minutes break.
- Read a book. This can be done on Kindle, or via your favorite online bookstore. Personally I like to read through the classics for inspiration (or just because they’re good).
- Listen to music! Pandora has been my go-to lately with their mix of indie and classic rock band stations. Spotify also offers free streaming with a few ads every now and then.
- Write something. Anything! Whether it’s a story, essay or poem – just write.
- Watch movies and TV shows on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime Video (they all have some free offerings). I especially like these services for days when you’re feeling down in the dumps because they offer plenty of happy endings 🙂
- Play Sudoku. Stimulate you brain and you’ll have fun doing it!
- Browse the internet for funny videos on YouTube or just watch some cat vines.
- Play a game online – one of my favorites is 2048 because I get to be productive and play at the same time 🙂
- Read through your Twitter feed (or someone else’s) and leave thoughtful replies. This is not only a great way to kill time to always an awesome way to improve your social life.
- Watch a TV show or movie. This is more for when you’re feeling lazy and want to veg out in front of the screen, but it’s super relaxing!
- Play chess. There are many free online chess websites and you can play against people from all over the world.
- Write in a journal or blog. I find that when I feel like life is getting overwhelming and I need to take some time for myself to reset and it always works wonderfully.
- Take some online quizzes. You can either find them through Google or just search “quiz” in your browser and there will be a ton of options for you to take.
- Find a fun subreddit on Reddit. This is one that I enjoy doing because it’s so entertaining, especially when the whole thing starts blowing up!
- Read some blogs from other entrepreneurs and think about working on a side hustle to earn a little extra income.
- Join an online dating site. You never know who you might meet and it’s a chance to kill some time all while potentially meeting someone.
Whichever option you choose, these days there are a million things to do online and a lot have the ability to kill time. Just pick one and try it!
