"Sometimes I like being MIA for a couple of hours. Nobody knows where the heck I am. I might be at the flea market, I might be on a paddleboard in the middle of a lake, and I might be at the local yarn shop. I usually don't know where I'm going when I decide I'm dropping out for a few hours, but I'm never disappointed." —u/degeneratescholar

6. Practicing mindfulness

"I've found practicing gratefulness/mindfulness helps life seem more interesting as you start to think about things you didn't before. Your mind begins to get more curious and you may find new interests. Another thing would be to plan something to look forward to. If the day is feeling dull what you have planned coming up can get you excited. Even if it's something small like a plan to get coffee on the weekend with a friend or some time after work to watch your favorite show."  —u/aaethon36

7. Sneaking fun outfits under work formals

"Work has a very formal and boring dress code (suit jacket/suit pants every day), so for fun, I sneak bright-colored layers underneath and hide them all day. It brings me joy lol." —u/azeldatothepast3 

8. Getting a new pet

9. Discovering "new" stuff
