During my working hours I feel bored if I got nothing to do. As in literally nothing. I just try to read some stuff to keep myself awake and not bored. What can you suggest to a bored person?

Listen to music while surfing the internet. Try to keep yourself updated on whats happening in the world. Search stuffs that is related to your hobbies, passion or interests. It will make you preoccupied of exciting things.

If i am bored in our office, I would lay down and sleep. Thanks that we have sofa bad that we could take a nap and have some rest. But if you dont want to do that. In our office network they have some downloaded movies so you could watch. Just choose from those movies. If you also would like to listen you could just choose that as well.

Boredom also arises when we are preoccupied with ourselves. How can we be bored when we live in such an incredible universe? Or such a wonderful country? Whenever we direct our attention outward, we will find much to be excited about, learn about, and get involved with. If we insist on consuming our time with thoughts of ourselves, we may come to realize, as Dylan Thomas did that "Somebody’s boring me... I think it’s me." Boredom is essentially being bored with yourself. So, if you use your spare time to make yourself interesting, you’ll never be bored to be with yourself! Just in case you have occasional bouts of boredom, here is a list of additional things you can do. 1. If you’re bored, do something useful. Such as, creating a list of things to do when you’re bored. Keep adding to the list; keep it handy, and refer to it whenever you’re bored. 2. Awaken the curiosity of your childhood. There are whole new worlds to discover. 3. Boredom is not caused by a lack of things to do as much as an unwillingness to do anything. So, develop your will by taking action. It’s okay to feel lazy and bored, but choose an activity and do it anyway. Now that I started the ball rolling, you can easily make your own list. Did you reach the end of this discussion without falling asleep? Congratulations, you have discovered the secret of avoiding boredom, which is meaningful activity. Good day to you my friend!

I usually listen to music to keep me less bored and in some cases to keep me awake. Reading works sometimes but even that gets dull and tiresome. Also playing games is always a good way to stay occupied.
