    So when you're bored, what do you do in your day to be less bored or just happy, happy, happy (Duck Dynasty Reference)

    Find things to do, or make things to do. Chores, window shopping, TV Tropes, reading, day dreaming... making plans with friends, exercise, cooking...

    In my personal experience, boredom is a sign that I'm being lazy and need to find something interesting to do without expecting others to entertain me.

    Games... Lots of games. Music too.

    Okay well I play paid-for games but there's a site I used to use that has a load of fun free and no download games Games - Free Online Games at Addicting Games! I personally loved a couple strategy games on that site :grin:

    All the best.

    Do some writing, do some photoshop/3d modeling, mash the refresh button on EC, these are all things I do for boredom. If I have the luxury of being bored, it means I need to do something at least a little productive. There's plenty. :slight_smile:

    I try to do chores, but most of my time is spent watching anime and playing video-games on my day's off. I get stuff done, just not everything. It'll get done before it needs to be done, it just wont get done that day.

    I daydream, or I try to puzzle out some sort of idea. I have a very good imagination, and I'm very intellectually curious (what psychologists call 'high need for cognition'), so I get a lot of enjoyment out of my own thoughts.

    But none of that helps me when I'm forced to do a boring, effortful mental activity, such as doing math problems.

    I browse the fine content here on EC, of course! :lol:

    I hate stuff like Facebook, so I come here instead.

    I also Google random things that I think about and look at pictures of them or read about them.
