Man I wish so bad I had that "problem"! My boss is old school, doesn't believe there's a real health problem and expects us to be at our desk every day. Surely you can find some hobby you're interested in. Here is a list of hobbies that don't require leaving the house, you could probably order everything you need online for any of these:

- Painting
- Sculpting in oven bake clay
- Leatherwork
- Sand art
- Leaded/ stained glass
- Building plastic models (car/ plane/ boat)
- Build a model railroad
- Build a diorama
- Build an R/C car, plane or boat

Heck a lot of men try knitting and sewing too. I've tried it but I don't have nearly enough patience.

I've done all of the above by the way.

Most people will respond "but I'm not good at that" or "I'm not artsy". Do you think any of us were when we started out? Some of my early work is terrible! You research, you look at the work others have done, you practice techniques, you try and then try again and try again.

If there's not SOMETHING you can enjoy doing at home then you need to change that.


Well, I have hobbies at home (I'm a home theater enthusiast and have a movie theater in the basement), but I'm talking about going and getting out of the house. My boredom probably exists mostly at work which has gotten really slow.

It's a nice list, but none of those things interest me, in even the slightest way.

Maybe, I should try learning a new language.
