If the idea of navigating a crowded mall on Black Friday — the busiest shopping day of the year — fills you with utter dread, then we're here to tell you: Don't do it.

You don't need to go shopping. You don't need to leave the house. Hell, you don't even need to leave the couch.

Instead of searching for the best air fryer deal, or scanning the shelves at Walmart for the very last pair of AirPods, you can use this time to do something else — like literally anything else. (Here's a similar list we did for Black Friday 2018.)

Perhaps — and stick with us on this — you could even turn Black Friday into a day of zen. A time when you re-connect with some of your favorite movies, discover a new app, or even learn a new skill. But how, you ask?

We have some ideas.

If you're a Disney fan, you should definitely subscribe to Disney+. For such a manageable price — just $6.99 per month — you get tons of Disney content that you can't get anywhere else (legally, that is). It's also nice that four simultaneous streams are standard, so you don't have to pay more to add people to your plan. —Miller Kern

If you're a human being living on this planet in 2019, chances are you harbor fond childhood memories of one Disney thing or another. For me, a lot of those fond memories come from the outrageously weird Disney output of the decades before I was born. The 1960s and 1970s – decades defined by their ostentatious fashion and rampant mind-altering drug use – is where I find my own, personal flavor of Peak Disney. —Adam Rosenberg

Flight of the Navigator was one of the many boy-meets-alien movies to surface in the years after E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial. This one charts a unique path, however. On one hand, it's a script-flip of E.T.'s basic premise, with the alien here trying to help the young boy get back home. But the story also forces us to consider what "home" really means for a kid who fell off the face of the Earth and didn't age at all as eight years passed. —Adam Rosenberg

4. Find something else to stream

We are living in a golden age of entertainment thanks to the sheer number of streaming services from which we can choose. Here's everything that's new on Netflix in November and in December.

5. Go take the family dog for a nice long walk. 

We bet she'll love it — and you could probably use some fresh air.

Headspace offers free and paid services. Starting out, the app suggests using the basics (the free stuff) and then determining your subscription plan from there. The basics teach you the essentials of meditation and mindfulness. With a subscription you’ll gain access to the full Headspace library, including short practices called “minis” for when you’re low on time, sleep-specific meditations, themed meditations, and more. —Miller Kern

For less than $20, you can learn HTML, Javascript, CSS, and so much more during this 5-course bundle that's aimed at beginners. If part of your plan for 2020 is to reinvent your career, then this would be an excellent place to start.

If you own a small business (or have a side hustle you hope to someday turn into a smalls business) then crafting the perfect website is the first step on the road to success. Learn how to use Wordpress via this $18 course.

Is it still in Word? Has it rambled onto multiple pages? You need help. This super cheap online course (it's less than $10) will help you get it all sorted out.

Black Friday is the perfect day to read a book, wouldn't you say? Sign up for a Kindle Unlimited plan and you'll get access to more than one million books, magazines, and more. (There are also thousands of audiobooks available if you'd prefer to read with your eyes closed.) You don't even need to have a Kindle — it'll work with any ol' smartphone. It's also super affordable. Amazon is currently running a six-month deal for just $29.97, down from the usual price of $59.94. Hey, who said Black Friday was bad?
