I never get bored. I always have something to do. The thing I hate the most is browsing randomly on the web. Most of the time I use the web for watching videos, listening to music or reading articles. I want to make bored web surfing something fun for me so I came up with this method. <br><br>**While browsing:**<br><br>1. **As soon as you see an add, close it.** <br>2. **Don't watch clickbait videos.** <br>3. **Learn to close a website that you know you are going to waste your time on.** <br>4. **If you opened a YouTube video accidentally, close it.** Or make a "Music" playlist and add it there so that you can watch it sometime.<br>5. **Don't scroll a page till infinity.** <br>6. **Never go on a website where you know you will waste your time.** <br>7. **Purchase or download anything that you want as soon as you see it.** <br>8. **Don't go on websites that have infinite scrolling.** <br>9. **Use Adblockers if you can't set your adblocker settings properly.** <br>10. **Avoid social media.** <br>11. **If you don't have time, skip the video or article or bookmark it to read it later.** <br>12. **If you got bored while reading an article or watching a video and it's not finished, close it.** <br>13. **If a website asks to turn off your adblocker, close the website.** <br>14. **Don't watch videos whose comments are filled with fights.** Especially if they are political or are about a celebrity. Or just don't read the comments at all. <br>15. **Don't watch videos that are longer than you have time.** <br>16. **If you are in a website and you don't even know how you got there, close it.** <br>17. **While looking for something on search engines, if the same website keeps on getting recommended every time you search, skip it.** <br>18. **If you clicked on an ad by mistake, close it.** <br>19. **If you opened a website that you don't know about, close it.** <br>20. **Don't watch recommended videos.**<br><br>**Before browsing:**<br><br>1. **Get rid of social media.** <br>2. **Set your goals.**<br>3. **Turn off notifications.** <br>4. **Remove distractions.** <br>5. **Schedule your browsing time.** <br>6. **Prepare a "To-do" list.**<br>7. **Set your priorities.** <br>8. **Keep your phone charged.**<br>9. **Charge your laptop.** <br>10. **Take a small nap if you are tired.**<br><br>**After browsing:**<br><br>1. **Look at your "To-do" list.** <br>2. **Charge your phone or laptop.** <br>3. **Take a nap if you want to.** <br>4. **Go out for a walk.** <br>5. **Help someone with a task.** <br>6. **Eat your food.** <br>7. **Drink water.** <br>8. **Get rid of tabs that you closed but still show up.** <br>9. **Workout if you want to.**<br>10. **Plan your day.** <br>11. **Plan your week.** <br>12. **Plan your month.** <br>13. **Plan your year.**
