Well, it will be unbelievable and astonishing to hear that someone is getting bored, in this era of evolving and mushrooming social media. There will be hardly anyone who will not have access to any kind of social media. Social media has surrounded everyone via many applications. From scrolling to marketing to blogging and freelancing, most of our time is consumed by them. Even if you have none to work and you open social media, you will be surprised as well how quickly time has passed because social media is flooded with so much content that you don’t get bored at all.
However social media brings in many negative outcomes. From retarding mental growth to instigating hatred and violent thoughts and disturbing human health due to over-screen time, social media is not what should be our priority to kill our leisure time. Before social media, people used to gossip with each other, do many innovative and creative activities and spend some time for themselves. But today all that had completely gone. People do not have time for themselves as well. Including me, there will be hardly anyone who will be giving him his time regularly. We just keep ourselves busy with different things, especially on electronics and this is retarding our mental nourishment.
There is a very dearth of time to me these days. I just know two things these days i.e on the day I will have to do this and on the night I will have to do this. The days are passing in this cycle. But once upon a time, I had plenty of time. Yes once upon a time. Lolz. I have many hobbies. But if I am alone then I have three hobbies only i.e Book reading, photography, and overthinking. Yes, I know the third one is not good but it is so it is. I can’t deny it. Both reading books and clicking photos are my favorite hobbies. I enjoy them in my leisure time. Both of them act as a respite for me in the frazzled life routine.
My reading is not confined to few topic or format only but I love reading everything and I do. It might be novel, research paper, article, book on economy or politics or research essays. Clicking photos is also expanded to whatever I like. Generally, I click moon and post rain scenery. Another hobby which I adopted recently is digita art. I don’t know how and why but I got great interest in it . Using splinterlands characters as reference, I am improving my digital art which was something new for me .
Though overthinking is bad but self analysis is very much crucial. We must assess our daily actions and our efficiency in them. Self analysis help us improve our shortcomings and overcome our flaws. So if I am free I surely assess my life from daily routine to steps I am taking for my future outcomes. This gives me energy to enhance my performance.
Above are the strategies I employ whenever I am free. Usually social media takes a lot of my leisure time. Watching what is happening around, what is trending, connecting some online friends and and them who are nearer takes much time of daily routine and I don’ t remember when I was bored last time. Yeah, I remember when there was an internet blackout I experienced a lot of boredom.

Social media should be used in a balanced way so that we don't lose out on enjoying the moment of life aside the media.
