When you're really, really bored...

[Mr. Mike]

Have any of you ever been in those situations where, despite the fact you have plenty of things to do, you just don't feel like doing anything?

Personally, I sit on the computer doing absolutely nothing. I could be playing bass or a couple of games that I'd otherwise love to be playing, but I just don't feel the motivation.

Do you have any methods to get out of this rut of boredom? What works? What doesn't? And what do you find yourself doing in such a rut?

I usually start texting people really random crap.

I usually pull out a really old game sometimes... othertimes, I just think... and think... and think... and think... and think some more...

Yes, right now. I was supposed to go to a mates place to play games and drink beer but that got canceled. So im sooooo bored atm. I need a new game.

For some strange reason I used to get bored at work sometimes. Regardless of the sh!t load of work we had to do, if routine slips in, I get bored. Most of the time when that happens I try to kid around with my colleges and try to figure out how they feel about it.

I juggle kittens! It's amazing fun but you have to watch out for the ceiling fan.

When I'm bored, I head here. Most of the time The Escapist (the magazine and website, not the movie) cures my boredom.

I just go to sleep. I'm always in the mood to sleep. By the time I wake up again I usually feel like doing something. Just sitting there, brewing, thinking about everything you can't be bothered doing; that doesn't help at all.

Try the amazingness that is TvTropes. Gets me out of a boring rut every time. It also gets me hooked for hours, but that's a different story.

I pick up my tablet and just start doodling in Photoshop, seeing what comes out of random shapes, eventually ill just watch some tv series.

I just boot up one of my many games I've yet to play/beat.

Usually works. ^_^
