I'm currently jobless and bored most of the time and I can't think of anything to do most of the time. I feel so bored now. Maybe I should go to sleep now but you can't always go to sleep when you're bored, it'll be like all day.
any suggestions? :)

Why not write some interesting articles or poems and post them on sites like Wikinut. You will learn more, and get to improve your writing skills. I think for jobless people this is one hobby that one can try.

that is a fun hobby. Writing I mean. I've never tried wikinut, I never heard of it before. But I write for Triond. I don't make a whole lot of money doing it – so far $.65 in two weeks which isn't that bad, especially for a beginner like me with only about 30 articles. But it's a lot of fun to write for them – I like the fact that you can write whatever you want. I just submitted a poem and I hope they publish it. it's always neat to see your earnings go up and see how many people read your article. I write about all kinds of things, whatever strikes my fancy. It's a lot of fun to submit it and then see it published.and I never know what sites are going to publish it on, so that's a surprise to. I just write about whatever interests me at the current moment. It's a lot of fun and a hobby I just recently started. There are so many places you can write online. In some you make money in and some you don't, but you can get good comments. A place I like to write poetry at is allpoetry.com. you don't get paid there, but you get a lot of good comments on your work and you could enter contests. It's a lot of fun and I have a whole bunch of poems posted there.

Well when I am bored I will find something to clean or watch a movie but now I have found just being on the internet helps to pass the time too. Or go for a walk.

i agree with you that there are so many ways to deal with boredom. doing the internet is what i do most these days to deal with it if time permits me to do so. otherwise, it is home chores that gets me occupied. well, home chores are endless...they never get done.

Aside from myLot and internet surfing, doing some backyard chores are one of the many alternative things to do when you are bored or don't have anything to have to time pass. This is one better way than thinking of sleeping the whole day or watching some movies in your tv set.

When I looked at the topic, the answer that cooked up in my Mind was "Sleep", but as that is pretty much cancelled by you from before, I would really tell you to find your point of interest which can keep you engaged. It depends from person to person, like I would indulge myself in roleplaying and strategy games, or a bit of book reading. Maybe you could surf new sites. And for long term purpose, some new friends in locality to pass time with can be good!

I have always had an active mind and imaginative and have never known boredom. I can be alone for hours and never be lonely: My mind is always engaged in something and I really enjoy moments of aloneness, since that is often when I can freely examine and re-examine my thoughts.

Of course I want to have my job. I'm just waiting for my license so I can already apply in a hospital.
In the meantime, while waiting, I submitted my resumes to different companies already who's in need of article writers. I'm just too bored here now waiting for some job offers. :)

although there are so many things to do at home, it cannot be helped that i get bored, too, at times. the endless home chores require more than the time that i may spend doing them in a day. i am just simply no longer as energetic as i used to be.
as for boredom, i spend time at the computer...hours always per day...laugh it out or smile it away because, the hours i spend at the computer, they are just much too much.
as for sleeping, i have known insomnia since as a baby, so my mom told me. too bad that i cannot do that. it always feels good when i manage to have a good number of hours of sleep. lucky you on that count then.

I feel bored once in a while too. One of my preferred ways to get rid of the boredom is to go to the public library, and read newspapers, books and magazines. That is in many ways informative and educational while I have the spare time to do it.

sometimes when I'm bored I go on my lot or my page 5 or some similar social networking site where I get paid. It's nice because then I can waste as much time as I want on the Internet but still have a justification for it – I'm getting a little bit of money. That feels somehow more useful than just sitting around watching TV. But TV is also good for boredom, so is reading. I love to read and I'll read for hours sometimes. One way to keep from getting to bored is to set your alarm clock and only do things for one hour and then switch to doing something else. Like read for an hour, then go on the Internet for an hour, then read for an hour again. If you split things up during the day you don't get bored with things quite so quickly. But I just spent an hour reading, and then 45 min. talking on the phone, and now I am going to spend an hour on the computer before I get back to reading. I too am unemployed and I have too much time. So I can totally relate to what you're talking about. But those are the things I do – go on the computer, watch TV, talk on the phone with people, and read.

I do have some boring time, don't want to do anything. I couldn't do housework, watch films, tv(just change from one channel to another but view nothing) etc. The worse is, I couldn't fall asleep at that time, just have random thoughts which make me feel tired.
