I don't get the general complaining about being bored during the quarantine? How the fuck could you be "bored"?
It is a luxury for me to be home and not working all the time. I still work 40 hours but taking away travel and such it is a breeze from home.
I’m with you. It’s taken away all the extraneous shit I big myself down with. Things are simpler. I get an extra 30-45 min of sleep, but otherwise keep the same schedule.
Weekend days get a little long depending on what I do (or don’t do) but I have yet to be bored.
Finally finished a book I meant to. Still get tons of excercise. All is good.
Totally agree with OP:
more sleep
no driving to work (saving money on gas)
more time to workout
saving money by not eating out (which I really don’t do anyways)
Boredom is the realm of the uninitiated.
I'm still working 48hrs, but the pace of everything outside of work has been nice and relaxing. My wife and daughter are getting a little anxious, and the lack of socialization is weighing on them, but I prefer it. I may be cutting back to 35 or 40hrs/week soon. That would feel like a vacation. I might feel differently if I was stuck at home every day.
There’s a weird cloud of anxiety and depression more than boredom. It sucked at first but I’m adjusting. I just need to get some gym equipment since mine is closed.
I have a million hobbies, but still often just stare at the wall for half the day because I am lazy.

I agree with OP.
There is never enough free time at home.
It would be nice if I had a home. All my shit in in Germany and I'm living in a hotel since the army wont let me continue my move. Pretty easy to get bored. Been running a lot though and watching alot of bs on YouTube. Could be worse I guess.

Hurry up and wait soldier!
I don't think people are bored so much as they miss being able to do certain things.
I havent known boredom since my teen years. I cant think of the last time i had literally nothing to do or could think of doing.
I’m bored. Only so much you can do at home before losing it. Being a couch potato ain’t what it’s cracked up to be.
I’m not bored. But then again I still work 50-60 hours a week. I look forward to my off time. Workout. Catch up on shows. Xbox. Lady friend. Whatever. Not bored at all.
most of us have the ability to watch any show/movie, read or listen to any book, listen to any music, work on a multitude of projects around the house, experiment with new recipes, start a hobby, exercise, play video games, etc. Basically more options than at any point in human history but are bored because can’t go to a bar or a sporting event?
I get missing out on some level of socializing but there are tons of things to do. Stop being boring and you won’t be so bored. Now, there are exceptions based on personal circumstance but they are certainly more exception than rule.
im busier than ever with work shit
trying to work from home with little kids makes it even crazier that i end up working night shifts
now im dealing with a hundred different people who are all panicking about getting these SBA and PPP loans
i cannot wait for this shit to end
Not that bored. Saving about 1 1/2 hours in commuting plus my dance school is closed so the 3 hours that I’m out of the house 4 days week leaves me at home a lot more. But, my backyard is clean, plants well watered and my office in the house is all set up.
