Anti-Boredom Drill

I didn’t know that the sound of a handsaw cutting through a 1cm thick wood board and a hammer drill digging its bit through masonry can soothe or in my bored pandemic state, revitalize one’s mind. Yep, this is #mentalhealth issue yet again.

The garage wall light needed to be replaced. These idle hands needed flexing. If lockdown boredom is a sickness and I am a doctor, then I’d prescribe a handsaw and a hammer drill before or after a meal. This worked mightily fine for me. Maybe it would do you good, too.

When temporary insanity is attempting to settle upon your household because of excessive non-activity apart from hitting like buttons and scrolling up and down, finding something menial to work on will drive it away.

See the reflection of a happy face on the shiny hood of a car you laboriously waxed. You’ll find a new perspective in life after manually shifting the toilet bowl 90° clockwise.

Most feelings of boredom are invitations to a physical activity that when ignored can lead to misery -and bigger beer bellies. Words of wisdom from a coffee drinker.

Stay active & healthy, folks.

Cheers! #MyCafeNotes
