Time seem's slow. No one seems available to talk and hang out with you. And every one seems to be very busy except you. You just can't find what you wanted to do with your free time alone. This day could be one of your boring day. What would you do? How would you over come your boredom? Do you have a remedy to fight a long boring day?

I would watch a movie myself. Something that is alive and light.

A man is never idle, because he is absorbed in thoughts. There's a visible labor, and there's also an invisible labor. Perhaps, you're an invisible labor who is trying to discover the meaning of life. Once you know the meaning of your existence, you will never experience boredom. Life is too precious to be wasted by boredom.

There are so many ways. I just look around me to find things that will keep me busy and it's gone before i'm aware of it. Samples are: do mylot, search the net, read interesting books, engage in one of my favorite hobby-cross stitching, go out of the house and talk with friends (on useful things and not about other people's lives), walk in a nearby park, go to malls and eat at a fastfood eatery or do window shopping, try to write anything that comes to mind and a lot more.

I never felt bored because I spent all my spare time mylotting and I never feel bored while mylotting, unless the site load too slow. We know that there are times that mylot site sometimes load too slow and that's the only time I felt annoyed. So, when it happens I just browse for any movies to watch to avoid the boredom.

Wow it happened to me during my last rest day and no internet connection for 2 days that i almost cut my internet subscription as its the only time i can spend my entire day being online yet there's no connection, there's no one to talk to over the phone coz they are not replying my text messages while im trying to call at the province to call my family and daughter yet phone connection is also down, i don't know what happened last Saturday and Sunday why there's no connection in our area. To cut the story short i just sleep the entire day and only wake up to eat and sleep again, then last Sunday my Nephew whose 28 years old(im the youngest in the family and his our oldest son so our age gap isn't that far) he visited me here from the province so i was glad and we called my brother and his wife and we had some drinking session in my house and it was fun coz we talk a lot of things though it was the first time i drunk a lot.

I thin i would just choose to sleep or listen to music, until i sleep. I would just save my energy or refresh myself so when i wake up i can do something else. Or i would just watch television or a movie.

I am just a simple person. So being just in my room most of days and being online is what I often do. But when I am tired with just sitting the whole day, I go to the mall and spend an hour or two window shopping.

As long as I have my phone with me,I could always take away boredom.I could play various games but most important is that I could always be here through my phone.I used to do mylot using my phone as long as it has strong signal from my network provider.

There's no other way but to do something riveting or worthwhile. Talk to a friend. "like" facebook. Revisit your childhood favorite stuff. Or try to eat a hearty meal with someone special. Learn a new hobby or new language. And most of all eat something with vitamin B, that will keep you going and active mind and body. Or if you don't have the chance of any of the above, you might as well just sleep and just comtemplte about your plans for the upcoming week or days. In that way, your brains will be that busy. Thanks

For myself I overcome boredom by listening to music, watching movies/TV or spend time in the internet.

Hi, I have tried going to the office on an overcast Sunday afternoon, ransacked my attic for forgotten things to do, went down to the garden to confront the weeds or just lay down with old magazines flipping through the pages for the nth time. There are times when we are left blank and boredom really has a field day. I do plan ahead in order to ward it off and waste a lot of time.
