My state government maintains a online volunteering opportunities register that was really useful. Local library also had a selection of organisations looking for volunteers. I initially over committed by signing up for too many things before cutting back and focusing on doing the emergency work wholeheartedly.

This article really resonated with me both in regard to the mundane and profound boredom aspects. For the mundane, obsessively refreshing hacker news is my doom scrolling (with the justification that I occasionally find content like this). While the profound boredom experienced during the start of Covid made me realise I wasn’t living up to what I thought were my values. I then started volunteering with the local emergency service which has been one of the best life decisions I’ve made.
