What is National Anti-Boredom Month?

National Anti-Boredom Month, observed in July, is dedicated to beating the summer slump that often follows the Independence Day excitement. It encourages people of all ages to try new hobbies, volunteer, and seek out fresh experiences that stimulate the mind and body. Created by Alan Caruba in the 1980s, it also celebrates how a little boredom can spark creativity and new ideas.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
