I have too much spare time

dont push yourself too hard and dont fit yourself into any strict schedule if you dont want to. I doubt most people want to follow any strict schedule, they do that because they HAVE to do that. You don't. Enjoy your life, I would recommend to start traveling, go to exotic places. Changing your living location / country might be an option for 'a new life' if you are ready to go that route. Start reading, go clubbing, visit festivals (you will meet new people there), join some community for a specific hobby (this depends on what you like) and enjoy your life. Remember that most people don't have this luxury yet you do.
 
I do it when its good weather :D


Yeah Im doing it too :D

I could ban you from here for a month to encourage you to go out and do something ;)

As I said before, go and volunteer at a charity and do something worthwhile as well as helping those less fortunate who don't have too much spare time.

Yeah but its real complex problem, you can google it and people really fall in problems because of too much spare time.

I know it could sound weird but its how it is. Our mind is designed to solve problems, and if you got none, you start getting crazy and sick.
Human nature is really weird.

And the reason I created this topic is because there is many people who have enough time due to nature of their online occupation, I believe.

And I searched for similar topics on different forums before, and everywhere people give exact SAME solutions: do sports, go volunteer, go take care of dogs. Lol :D

You know, I was hoping that someone will help me out with something original as he had the same problem as me and now he does this or that.

Thank you for all your help though!

PS. Ban wouldnt help :( im not that much here :D

Start a vlogging or tutorial channel on Youtube. You will be able to work outside and head out for a few hours a day :). Plus making more money $$
 
This is how working form home actually works.. it's not all palm trees and sunshine. Especially if you are alone.. I remember those days when mrs Diplomat was out doing 9-5, everyone in Skype/MSN were sleeping, at school or too busy to socialize. I felt lonely too.

Thankfully, these days are over for me.. but what you can try is to stop finding excuses why you can't go and do stuff and actually go and do stuff. Another thing is.. it doesn't sound you actually make a lot of money because if you would, you wouldn't have lot's of free time. Richest people I know have rarely time for shit talking or chilling.. they are out there making money.

It's dark and bad weather out here too so I know how it feels, especially during the winter.. but you need to get yourself together and actually start doing something. Whining doesn't help.
 
Why won't you take up producing beats/music? This activity is pretty interesting and needs soul as well

Thank you for your response.
I dont know if you havent read all the posts but yeah.
Im doing sports, i meet with my friends, i do my job at home. After that Ive still got few hours empty space that I dont know what to fill with. Regular job didnt work well for me.

Yes I dont make a lot of money. I do good, but I wouldnt call myself rich lol.

I was looking for some unique idea, you know, when you ask a lot of people eventually someone say something and you are like: 'Yes ! That's it! '

Thank you for your help though

Right now it sounds you have a little winter depression. I’d suggest checking your eating habits and make sure you eat as healthy as possible. Also, I’d suggest taking some vitamins and minerals to support your body and mind. Magnesium does wonders for me. Working out is great, it helps to reduce stress.

About money, do you have some kind of income goal that you would like to reach? Working from home or owning a business is not for everyone and you may be feeling it’s effects as well. Try thinking about what you want and set yourself few goals. 9-5 doesn’t have to be as horrible as everyone suggests. There are tons of people out there who work 9-5 and are actually happy with their life. So I’d suggest you explore that area as well. For your SEO stuff, just hire a va who takes care of things.

Yes Its something like depression. Ive had it mostly in winter, since i started my college. I had lessons 2-3 times a week and then free time. It was killing me. No job, staying at home. Only working out, dating with my gf, hooking up with friends. Making music also. But as I stayed in home for a bigger part of a day, I was getting lazy, unmotivated and depressed

All my college looked like this. It was 6 years. I graduated last year. And now - Im still at home cuz im working home.

Dont get me wrong. Im just looking for advice and well to be honest - a little help. Maybe some of your advices will spark this idea I really need now.

Trust me that I know that im lucky af - but you cant control your feelings. And that I know that im lucky, and I stay in home instead or doing SOMETHING, was killing me and making even more depressed.

But I was always active - workout everyday, or 5 days in week at least. Meeting with friends. Reading. Doing my hobbies.

BUT when you stay at home too much - you have no motivation to do these things I mentioned above. You just hate looking at screen so you wont be productive. S

Waking up at 10 and exhausted. As i said Im working out, i eat well, i really care about my physic-body side. I think I just have to change something with mind side.

Plus I used to smoke marijuana for all these years. Not every day, but usually 2 times a week. Sometimes more often, sometimes less. But still.

And when its summer I always got this summer job; I stand up at 7 am, go sleep late, all day outside doing physical job and man - Ive got TONS more energy than now staying at home !

I just need something like this - be few hours outside, doing something cool with cool people..
I believe someone of you will eventually give me this idea!

Thank you guys. You are really helpful. I was appreciating my situation and now I do even more. Plus I feel better that I wrote about these things...kinda like I had to tell it to someone and be listened to.

But as I said - you can 'have everything' and still...feel like you dont want to live anymore (sic).
 
I envy you, last 7 days I got 24 hours of sleep combined

I'd just go out, find events, places to eat out at, movies. I used to be against it, but I tried to open my mind and I discovered almost any event can be enjoyable, as long as you don't have to be there and can leave and enjoy as you wish
 
read lots of books related to topics you like, get a dog, ask the mods to ban you for couple of weeks shut down your computer for at least 5 hours a day problem solved,
