Staycation ideas that can helps you to reduce your boredom

By Naylii Sophea

You can do this depending on your work schedule, your current budget situation, or if you are a student and in need of a break from your pile of assignments and final project, don't worry you can still give yourself a moment of much-needed rest, relaxation and inspiration to power through on everything that might be coming up next on your calendar. As a matter of fact, this might be your holy grail and best staycation ideas that can help to reduce your stress. 

I know it is more fun and amazing option to play tourists in our town especially when our PM said that we can go travel around the country but for those who are lazy to go out, these ideas would be the best option ever. The best version of an at-home staycation manages to let you feel somewhat transported, but with all the comforts that being in your own space affords you. Maybe that includes a weekend of Netflix bingeing or taking all the long luxurious bubble baths you want — either way, the best staycations are the ones that allow you to truly recharge.

And if you need some ideas before plotting your own, ahead, here are few ways to make the very most of your next indoor vaycay.


1. Do A Digital Detox 

If you truly want to disconnect from your usual distractions, a digital detox might be in order. By putting down your devices for a day or two, you can truly take a break from work obligations and also channel your time and energy into offline things, like that book you keep meaning to finish, or treating your body to a restorative yoga flow or guided meditation. To be honest, this is exactly one of the most favorites things that I would do whenever I get bored and sick with all the social media and technologies. I can say that I'll be drowning in my imagination by reading some good books. 


2. Treat Yourself To A Spa Experience 

Even if it's as simple as drawing yourself a stress-relieving bath or doing a DIY manicure, this is the perfect time to treat yourself to a little pampering. And if you've got the funds for it, you might even want to spring for a service that you can find on Instagram to have a professional come to you. 


3. Order In

Who doesn't love foods right? Try out the latest menu from your favorite fast food or restaurant, you can order through GrabFood, Food Panda, or any delivery service so that you can have the moment by yourself and the privacy of being in your home (in pajamas, if you feel like it!) or just order in from your favorite pizza place such as Dominos. A home staycation is the perfect excuse to take a break from cooking and your usual routine and enjoy a few of your fave dishes without lifting a finger. That said, if cooking soothes you, this might also be the perfect time to try out a new recipe or bake something totally indulgent.


4. Catch Up On Your Favorites

With a full workload, there's probably a few shows or movies you just haven't gotten around to watch, but have been wanting to. Your staycation is an ideal time to catch up on your favorites. Do a movie marathon, or finally binge that new series everyone's been talking about. 


5. Work On A Creative Project

The whole Netflix-and-chill thing can be fun, but maybe you want to avoid screen time altogether. If that's the case, use this time to indulge in some of your favorite creative hobbies, like sketching, journaling, creating a vision board, or sinking your teeth into something crafty.
