Yep, its true. I hate being bored. It sucks to say the least. But the worst part is when you combine that with procrastination. Then its a constant boredom =P And its not too much of a struggle to fix it, but enough to be a problem -.- Though, when i get in the right mood i am never bored ^_^

How to cure boredom?

Get off your butt and do something? Lol. There are a lot of things to do.

A)join a sports team
B)join a gym, and workout 3 days a week
C)find a hobby, such as art, poetry, or photography
D)watch a ton of movies/play a ton of videogames
E)volunteer, as mentioned before
F)get a job, if you don't have one

or do what i have been doing lately, read the bible, read internet articles on archeological findings of the bible,

There is always something to do. As far as procrastination, well, I do it, very little have I suffered for it. You're fine.

The problem here, nimbo, is that you don't know how much you've been affected by your procrastination because you can't know what you've missed unless someone tells you. So, yes, you have suffered quite a bit from it, it just hasn't been life-threatening. ;-)

I'm nimbo's mom, btw. :)

Ead, it sometimes helps to figure out why you're bored. Some people are bored because they are incapable for whatever reason to do things. Could that be the case for you? I don't mean just physical reasons, but spiritual, psychological, whatever.

I do know this, as an old fogey, there will come a day that you'll wish you could be bored. Maybe you should just enjoy it while you have it... ;o)

Okay, I don't really mean that. The Bible tells us there's much to be done and to redeem the time and so on. If you're looking for something specific to do, take Eph. 2:10 as your cue:

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Look around. What good works can you do? Go for it. You will always find God's blessing there.

My boredom is a lack of confidence i think. I want to do stuff, but i get bogged down from certain things and then i give up and eat chips and stuff x_x

I do write stories well i think. And i love to write them. I like gardening, and i have a place to do that. I need to clean up my room and run around a bit. I wanna hang out with my friends. I need to host a party. Mow more lawns. Set up a business. Learn to draw. Read my summer book. Read another book. Write in forums....

But for some reason the lazy guy in my head says "Meh... that takes work..." so i just sit on the computer all day >.< Which sucks alot! Cause at night i think about my day and say "Well... that sucked"

I agree with your confidence idea -- you can't quite envision yourself getting successful results. Maybe your ideas are too big?

For me, boredom might come if I don't have a challenge in mind. Things are too comfortable, or I've given up on a goal.

See if there are things you always wanted to do, but people discouraged you from doing. Just tell yourself with enough time and effort, you can do them, no problem. Defy their words.

If that doesn't work, do a little studying on people who are just barely surviving. Their days are filled with scavenging, coming up with creative solutions to feed their kids... discouragement doesn't come from no challenges, but too many. You probably have loads of choices, but no reason to complete any of them. No?
