AND I WANT IT NOW!!!

roll a d20

or whatever kind of die you have near by.

then take that number and number a page.

Write in the things you would like to be doing down that list.

Roll another die

Look at what activity is under that number

Stop whatever you're doing and go out to try and do that thing.

If it's something big like "Go to Africa" then go out and learn about Africa, what it's like to travel there, what you need to do to get

there.

what exactly you are working at

That always breaks me out of my lethargic "I'm bored"

If nothing else, you just spent 30 minutes or more thinking of a lot of cool things you'd like to do and making a list of them.

music as background

its great that you use a die to determine an activity. I do that too!

It makes it completely random, adds a bit of the chaos into it.
