100 Productive Things To Do If You’re Bored
Longtime SuperViva Member Shekatipet wrote a list of things to do when you’re bored is a great start to being more productive, which is why I titled my own list “100 Productive Things To Do When I’m Bored.”

3. Write an entry for your blog
4. Clean out your e-mail inbox
6. Empty the dishwasher
7. Clean out the fridge
