  7. Make duct tape wallets.
  8. Learn something new through MIT’s Open Course Ware.
  9. Browse Google for new productivity or organization applications.

  12. Daydream about where I want to be in the future.
  13. Browse stock photos for inspiration.
  14. Work on my scrapbook.
  15. Look for a new book to read via reading lists or Amazon user reviews.
  16. Search for other blogs in my niche and leave “good job” comments.

What do you do when you are bored, but do not want to actually do work?
