Learn a game on days when the weather forces you to stay home. Knowing how to play some games with cards or games like Go or chess is also very useful when you have to travel long distances or when there is a power outage. You can learn to play a lot of simple and fun games alone or with friends. [1] X Research Source

Listen to new music that gets you excited about boring tasks. Most people listen to familiar music passively, like listening to music while doing something else. Keep your playlist up to date by searching for new music genres.
