Boredom can affect anyone, including you. During your eight hours of work, most of you spend most of your time in the office. When boredom strikes, somehow time passes more slowly than usual. So, here are five easy ways to get rid of boredom while increasing your productivity.
 
1. Tell stories

The way that is considered the easiest to get rid of boredom is by telling stories. Find a friend who you can talk to and provide the support or information you need. Not just friends you've known since childhood, they can also be work friends.

According to psychologist, Henny Wirawan, those who have friends tend to be mentally healthier than those who don't have friends. The reason is, that those who don't have anyone to confide in tend to be immersed in their life problems without having the opportunity to express their complaints.
 
2. Rest

Do you agree that holidays are one of the best ways to get excited about work? Brendon Burchard, author of The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel Alive, suggests taking time off every ninety days. Or in other words four times a year.

You can go on holiday with your partner, office colleagues, friends or even alone. The goal is to relax from all the monotonous routines. While on vacation, don't even think about work, deadlines, clients, reports, and other things related to the office.

Don't forget to make a financial plan, and a list of places you will visit so you don't get stuck in a hotel.
 
3. Take advantage of rest time

There are many things you can do in your break time. For example, after your lunch break, you can tidy up your work desk. A clean and neatly arranged desk will make it easier for you to work.

You can start by throwing away things you no longer need from drawers. Use the drawer as a place to store office stationery that you need, such as paper, pens, pencils, or important documents.
 
4. Eat

There's no harm in scheduling a culinary tour that you can do at least once a week. For example, every Friday it doesn't have to be a fancy restaurant. The aim is to add to your dining experience if you happen to work outside the city or as a place to gather with friends after work.

Apart from that, the advantage of going on a culinary tour every Friday is the many promos. Starting from 30 percent discounts, Friday Deals to Buy 1 Get 1 from several restaurants you can enjoy every Friday.
