The idea of being home alone with the inevitable task of fighting boredom can be a challenge. However, your home can be a resource for untapped activities if you only look around. Who knows, you may discover an activity that is not only fun but also saves money. We are mentioning 25 fun activities that can remove your boredom.

1. Read a Book

There's a joke somewhere that says you'll only read a love book, or if you're in prison. Since being stuck at home is the best option for prison, why not pick up a book?

2. Clean the House

Is that what you neglect because you are too busy with work or something else? Activities? Being stuck at home, why not take the time to fix a little? It may not be one of the funniest things to do at home, but hey, it will make you feel much better and more accomplished.

3. Do DIY Repairs

With more time in your hands, you can now work on those squeaky hinges, rusty pipes and any carpentry languishing for your attention.

4. Play Board Games

Don't miss the good old days when people still played board games and really interacted with other human beings?

5. Check Out Podcasts

If you are a virgin podcast, you may have a new addiction. Podcasts are like radio programs over Internet, saved on a portable multimedia device. Like radio programs, there are numerous genres available to choose from. There is typical comedy, talk show, political and drama content, along with specialized podcasts.

6. Explore the House

As silly as it may seem, exploring the house can still be one of the unexpected fun things to do at home. Some people do this to do some kind of "maintenance test" to look for things that need repair. Some do domestic archeology and see some of the interesting old things that may have been forgotten.

7. Start Writing A Blog

Only with nothing but your thoughts? What a great time to write it! Blogging is not only therapeutic but also a good practice for your word crushing skills.

If you are an energetic type of a person, and cannot sit all day, do push-ups, squats, or just go jogging or walking.

Take a tour of the memory lane and see the old yellowish albums of the family archives.

11. Try Cooking a New Dish

Drag the refrigerator and cupboards and try to create a dish with those ingredients like Jamie Oliver.
