Destroy Your Boredom

Are you tired of leeching off other people's ideas for entertainment? I bet you are! Well, here's a list of ideas you can try out. 

CREATING THINGS AND IDEAS

1) REDESIGN/RE-PERCEIVE/AUGMENT SOMETHING:

- Choose an item in your surroundings and think about a way to make it cooler

- Choose something in your surroundings and re-perceive everything you know about it
- Pretend that you're a sub-character in a story that's unfolding around you

- Pretend that you are someone totally different, and create new mannerisms for yourself

- Photoshop something

- Invent a new history for something or someone

2) CREATE A NEW ITEM IN AN EXISTING CATEGORY

- Make a dance
- Make a new recipe
- Make some new clothes

- Paint/Draw something
- Write a song/rap
- Write a script

- Create a story
- Design a new hairstyle
- Design a new greeting

- Create a new _________

3) PRETEND AND DOCUMENT

1ST: Think up an interesting story/some characters/an interesting scenario

2nd: Find a way that you can pretend to interact with those things in your current environment
3rd: Document it via some means (a photo, a diary, a song, etc).

4) CREATIVE CREATION 

Choose one of the suggestions in (2) and think about a new way in which this thing could come about. (E.g. Maybe you could create a song melody by getting your cat to walk on a piano, or make a story by selecting random strings of words from a newspaper)

OR

CREATE A CHALLENGE 

Look at the things in your surroundings (or randomly think up some things that you can acquire) and think creatively about how you can use them as props or constraints, in one of (or a blend of) the following challenge types:

A logic challenge

You can't necessarily create a logic puzzle for yourself but you can have fun making one for a friend. Select an item (or an idea) as the puzzle answer and work backwards from it, creating a sequence of clues in the process.

A searching challenge

This is your classic hide-and-seek type challenge, or 'spot-the-something-something' challenge.

A knowledge challenge

This could be a quiz, or a game where you have to use all the words you know, or all the facts you know about something.

A construction challenge

You take the things in your immediate surroundings and have to make something out of it. You then battle what you've made to find out how good it is.

A creativity challenge

You have fifteen minutes to write a song about shoes. GO!

A physical skill challenge

Choose a part of your body and push it to its limit. E.g. How many balloons can you inflate in five minutes? How many tongue-twisters can you say in thirty seconds? How long can you balance?

A handicap challenge

Choose a part of the body and handicap it in some way with the items around you,  then come up with a challenge that tests that handicap.

An overcoming challenge

Dislike spiders? Dislike humiliation? Find a way to challenge your friend's fear's/dislikes.

A indulgence challenge

This is your classic fight to get as much satisfaction as possible. How much chocolate can you eat? How many boobies can you nuzzle.

A stealth challenge

You have to complete a challenge or some kind of movement without being noticed.

A collecting challenge

You have to get as many license-plate numbers/free samples/concierge greetings as possible (this also includes things like 'touch-all-the-somethingsomethings')

A chance-outcome challenge

This is for games like bingo or a coin-toss. An object in your surroundings decides an outcome, and then you might have forfeits or prizes.

An attribute challenge

Take can object in your surroundings and see how you can take its intended purpose to a limit (praising its creator the whole while).
