unfortunately where i live makes it extremely difficult to go anywhere without a car so i’m stuck at home most of the time and am prone to bedrotting and falling into slumps (for multiple days in a row 😬) but something that never fails to make me even the least bit productive is staying out of my room for as much of the day as possible. the second i‘ve gotten ready for the day i grab what i need then sit in a space with lots of natural light so that it feels easier to get up and do stuff cause i’m already out of my room, and to stay awake/avoid the afternoon naps that usually turn into full day naps 💫 this also helps with keeping my room clean cause when i walk into my room after not seeing it for a while i get a real sense just how messy and cluttered it is 😍

once I realized that most days I spent entirely at home made me feel awful when they should make me feel rested, I started making a point of getting out of the house on days where I have nothing planned. you can really go anywhere as long as it's a place that you're comfortable and can waste some time in. I would usually go to a coffee shop and do homework/browse the web on my laptop, which I could just as easily do at home but it felt better than doing it there because I actually had to get up, get ready, get outside, and interact with people even if minimally. it just helped me stay grounded.
nowadays if i have to stay home I make a point to force myself to get up at a normal time (sleeping until past noon will make you feel like you can't do anything because it's already so late you migh as well just stay in) and do something creative, usually that helps the time fly if you get engrossed in it for a while. having a hobby is a great timesink that actually feels productive.
if the weather is nice, just go outside and take it in. if you can walk around your part of town, just putting on music an meandering can be a good way to get familiar with your area or find something new to try. I'm a fan of biking so if there's a pedestrian trail in your city just get on and ride. I've found that putting on music and going at a chill pace I can end up wasting hours taking in the sights and vibing and actually get some excercise too.
in general, moving around and getting out are huge. you don't even need to be doing anything ""productive"". but if you must stay inside, get out of the bedroom and find an activity you can get lost in for a while, stimulate your mind a bit.

recently i've started sitting at my desk. not necessarily doing anything, just sitting there. i could be scrolling tiktok, watching a show, practicing drumming, literally anything. it could be the most unproductive shit ever but it makes me feel better. lying in bed all day makes me feel like shit. especially if i'm doing it all day for a couple days on the trot. so just getting out of bed and sitting at my desk makes me feel better. i'm 16 so it's not like i have any work to be doing (apart from school work, but it's summer now so). i think it makes me feel more productive, even if i haven't done much more than i would have if i'd have just been lying in bed. but the point is it makes me feel better. it makes me feel less shitty about being unproductive and generally getting quite depressed. i hope this helps anyone at all, if you feel shit about lying in bed all day, try just sitting at your desk, it might help you feel a little bit better :)

Especially in the morning, defaulting to cleaning up and decluttering messes is great when you can't think straight about what you're doing in your day. It gets your body moving, and when you can finally get ahold of your thoughts, you've already made space for what you actually want to be doing.

i’ve also been trying to learn guitar for a while, and while it may not be the easiest way to do things, the most engaging thing i’ve found is learning songs i reallyyy like – so i’ll really stick it out – and then also making my own songs with both chords that i know and chords i don’t eg. just randomly placing / moving ur fingers around until something sounds nice. while you might not learn and memorise every chord ever this way, it keeps you actually playing the guitar (even if it‘s a bit shit) + i‘ve come out of it with some of my favourite melodies!
