Is it boredom, or something else?

I often find myself struggling with boredom. It's a feeling of having nothing to do while, in my case anyway, having MANY choices. But, none seem appealing. I often lay on my bed at night, these days phone in hand, thinking UGH! Another night of struggling to feel satisfied and fulfilled.
This is especially frustrating and annoying when I'm trying to write. No ideas, I think. How do I start. Just start! Just do it!
Yeah...umm...if only!
So, I do the Facebook thing. The words with friends thing. The paintjoy thing (an art app that's really kinda cool!). The poetry thing.
Yeah. The poetry thing. I'm pretty good at it -WHEN I get an idea and actually START WRITING.
Yep. I sleep a lot these days. Meh. Anyone have thoughts on how I can do more with my time?

You should be ashamed to spend your time like this and lament. Get off your behind and out of the house. Go to a shelter - for humans or animals - and ask if you can help there. You definitely need to do something useful and which shows you immediate results.

Well, just to clarify - I do have a day job. Oftentimes, this malaise hits in the mid to late evening and those opportunities don't exist at such hours.
Yes, we all should live outside of ourselves and give to the broader community. I wholeheartedly accept that message.

@stanws We feel bore when we have nothing to do.If you have nothing to do, why not "create" something for us to do?? You may learn a new skill,you may go out for a long walk,you may watch an interesting movie,you may read a thriller.....
