    Full time job
    School
    Gym
    Videogames, because if I play enough World of Warcraft I lose track of time and forget to eat anyway. Lol

    Bike, run, read, cook, stretch, walk, clean, wash clothes, mow, weed flower beds, go fishing. I could add more. I'm easily entertained.

    I'm a lazy person who needs to find a hobby so most of the time i'm either watching a show/movie or on youtube. I read but not that often. Go shopping, go to parks....I seriously need a hobby though.

    Aside from my workouts and runs - I read a lot, I always have sewing projects I can get to, I like to crochet and cross stitch once in a while, I have a large garden that always needs attention and chickens and goats I can go hang with. Also my PS4 gets a little attention most days. I watch some TV during my gym cardio and while I eat dinner - I'm watching The Americans right now, it's so good!

    This comment is probably not going to be liked very much because we live in an age which is fueled by constant divices and activity. I'm of the opinion that its ok to be bored. We fill our lives with so much stuff, so much social interaction, so much activity. Some of it is meaningful and some of it is pointless. Perhaps you could use this experience of Bordem to be "still" or let your thoughts roll a bit,. You might discover something about yourself. A lot of creative and relaxed people use boredom rather than push it away. Just a thought.

    Edited to add: in answering the question, I don't avoid it. When the opportunity comes up to be bored I try to enjoy it.. I have kids so boredom is rare.

    That remind me of the quote from Death in Terry Prattchet's Hogfather:
    HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM.



    In response to your question OP:
    I draw, I judo, I walk the dog, I cook, I laze on the sofa and relax

    I LOVE Terry Prattchet big fan.. death is one of my favorite characters. Love Hogfather! Hard Currently reading Guards Guards.

    I agree with this. But I consider doing nothing and being bored as two separate things. I love quiet time with nothing to do and avoid over scheduling for that reason. But sometimes you just want something to do.

    I work full time and have 2 young kids. They don't leave much time for boredom.

    I wish I had time to be bored. Work full time, volunteer part time, do things for family members, exercise, cook...

    Fortnite helps me forget that I’m starving. WOW I’m sure has that same impact. Video games are incredible hunger fighting tool lol

    School, research/work (it's a paid research assistantship), apply for scholarships, research on my own time, practice German, get ready to apply to MA programs, bike, row (indoors and on water), physical therapy, cook, and eventually sleep.
