I find that it's easy to get bored especially when your routine is repetitive. What I do is that I try new things on my free time to change up the flow. I would watch a new tv show or start trying to learn something valuable. So, how do you fight boredom?

Boredom? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this term. No seriously, given how hectic my life can tend to be, I think that just a little bit of boredom would actually break the pace of the breakneck pace of my life. Granted, it wouldn't be something that I would like experience all of the time, but perhaps a little bit of boredom here and a little bit of boredom there, might cause me to take a breath from time to time. Still even if for some strange reason the impossible happens, and I get bored, I just find things to do. You don't have to look far to find something to do. Play a game, read a book, watch a video, surf the Internet, write something, go outside and get some fresh air if the weather is nice, really the possibilities are endless to undercut boredom and the possibilities really can be many to master your own boredom and bring some excitement back into your life.

I will put on the earphones to listen to some gentle music, reading an intresting book, or together with my best friend go for a walk. Sometimes, I will give a call to my friend in a far place chatting "how are you getting along".

I try different things even as simple as talking a walk. Sometimes getting out of the house and taking a short walk and getting fresh air can make a world of difference. You can play an online game or read a book/magazine. Call a friend and talk for awhile. There are many simple things people don't think of that can cure boredom.

I read books and listen to music. If it does not work, I go to the public market. If it still does not work, I do some gardening or I just drop in on friends and relatives.
