Take our ‘How bored are you’ quiz to get your boredom rating
Ever just sat there and pondered to yourself the question of “how bored am I”. Of course you have, we all have at some point in our life. The problem is though, you never quite get an answer. You just judge your boredom level by yourself, similar to how you judge the amount of spaghetti you’re putting into a pot, it’s always too much or too little.
So to battle this problem, we’ve created a quiz to tell you exactly how bored you actually are. That way, you’ll know if you really are bored and to what extent.
How bored are you?
The ‘How bored are you’ quiz has five questions that have been created to calculate exactly how bored you actually are. You’ll get given a rating and from that, you will finally know the level of boredom you’re at, no more guessing. No matter the bored rating you get, we have enough suggestions to cure your daily boredom, even if you’re 100% bored (trust us, that’s some serious boredom).

Well, for us, we were super bored during the heights of quarantine. So bored in fact that we created The Bored Hoard, a daily cure for your perpetual boredom. For many of you though, the thought of creating your own site is, well, boring. Which is completely fair enough, and we don’t expect you to do that.
Some folks have made it through quarantine by taking up hobbies they wouldn’t have dreamt about under normal circumstances. I mean, who’d have thought we’d become a nation of sourdough lovers overnight, carefully monitoring the progress and constant kneads of the temperamental dough. It’s literally like having your own pet.
Others have taken to their gardens, and boy, those gardens have never looked so good. During the initial stages of lockdown, we flocked to the supermarkets worries that we’d run out of food. So instead we grab toilet roll as the next best alternative. We’ve planted fruits and vegetables vowing to “Grow for Britain”, when really we’d just keep the food for ourselves. Heck, we couldn’t even share toilet rolls, how did they expect us to share food?

Join a movie club with Secret Cinema ?
Cinemas aren’t open just yet. So whilst you wait, jump on your sofa and join the Secret Cinema movie club. Every week, alongside thousands of other people, they’ll show a movie for you to watch, discuss and even ideas to dress up, if you’re into that.
As we said folks, that’s just a snippet of what you can expect to find in your boxes. So if you’re thinking all of the above ideas are totally nothing you would do, then cool, open some boxes to find something a bit more you. Just be sure to take the ‘How bored are you’ quiz first, it gives us a heads up at just how deep your boredom state is.
I’m bored what should I do on the internet?
You might be thinking ‘Isn’t this just the same question as above?’ and I’d say to you eagle eyed folks, no, it’s not and here’s why.
When you’re bored, there’s literally tons of things you can do on the internet. If you have parental control though, that makes it less fun. Anyway, you are literally connected to a world of possibilities with cool and interesting things you can do. Now at some point, you may have searched for a bored button, and we say to you sir, don’t. The internet wasn’t created for you to sit in your room and click a button in the hope it would cure you from boredom. That’s like going to space and not looking out the window.
We got a bit passionate there, but it’s true, there’s so much more you can do when you’re bored on the internet. It’s literally the purpose of The Bored Hoard to cure your boredom, and we’re well aware that spending hours searching for something to do on the internet might make you even more bored, and that’s where we come in.
How we cure your boredom
Normally when you’re bored, you have to go off and search for ideas that will pull you out of boredom. Or, you just sit there and flick through social media endlessly wasting your time and eventually watching a repeat of that shitty movie.
At The Bored Hoard, we’ve spent the time searching through the internet gathering up ideas that we think are great for everyone. You’ll find these on Google, but to find each and every one of them individually would take you a very long time, trust us, we’ve done it.
We basically package up the best that the internet has to offer, all in one place and we’ve hoarded it away ready for you to come along and open as many boxes as you like. You don’t have to like all the ideas in the box, in fact we’ve found that it just takes one good idea to set you free from the pit of boredom. Rip open some boxes, have a rummage around and see if you’ll find any ideas that give you a boost.
How to stop being bored
You’ll find endless blogs that will tell you how to stop being bored, but they don’t understand how bored you are or what you actually like. One blog might tell you to go on a walk, yet the idea of putting one foot in front of the other and stepping in dog shit just seems like a big fat no go. Another could suggest taking up a hobby, yeah no shit, you aren’t an 80 year old granny.
The point we’re trying to make is that everyone is different, and a well being blog just probably isn’t for you. Which is why even if you can’t stand some of our suggestions, there will still be something from a box you’ll find fun and entertaining. We’ve got more variety here than a Woolworths pick n mix, and we’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
Long answer short, the best way you can stop being bored is by visiting The Bored Hoard and opening some boxes. Peace out people.
