    What do you guys do to kill the boredom/lonliness that comes from working at home full time?

    Discuss.
    Make sure that you go and doing something with friends once or twice a week , plus go to the gym once a day. Just make sure that days don't by where you don't leave the house, you'll get stir crazy.

        so I don't wanna hear it.
        No walks on the beach in the early morning?

            This is one of the times...when you claim that you don't have a life and yet some asshole makes you feel like you're dying again.

            So contradictory...

                    Yes, but when most people earn a million, they want to make another one etc...

                            Yeah, going to a gym is def. a good thing. You meet a lot of ppl and it's good for your body. And perhaps your body gonna like this soon! ;)

                                            Exactly. Remember, even though you may feel unmotivated sometimes, think of HAVING to get up early EVERY DAY of the week for a regular 9 to 5.

                                            I also have many friends now that work 9 to 5 and have no time for anything else because they're tired after work when they get home at 6 after fighting traffic and getting home to watch tv, eat dinner, and sleep are the only things they want to do.

                                                    I have a couple of those. Lazy fuckers. As if standing behind a counter all day with no responsibility is stressful and extremely hard work. Good God.

                                                    All the hard working people I've ever known have always been ready to do more after work. If you don't "do more" you simply become a working stiff and never really live. There are 24 hours in a day, at least 14-18 of those should be utilized.

                                                    Turn off the damn TV and LIVE.

                                                            very hard to get some people in this biz to understand that the only difference in this biz than in the one in the 'real' world is that we are lucky that we don't have to wake up a set time and can work our own hours BUT not less hours, to have any success you will put in as many hours as the guy who buys some franchise or opens a store in a mall. if not you will be making beer money online, unless you are doing something scammy/spammy. no way around the amount of work necessary these days in this biz for a newbie. doesn't matter if you're running free sites, TGPs, a designer, a programmer, a content shooter, paysites - working at home doesn't mean working less - means working more, just under your own terms.

Work productivity is a lot better. But it's getting harder everyday to make a pause and stop working. The minute i reach home (i took both my computers from there and brought 'em to the office) it takes a while to calm down and think about something else other than work... u know, chill out, watch a movie, have a drink, call someone.

                                                                                Best thing to do, which is fucking hard, separate work from pleasure time. Pleasure is needed to keep you sane, meeting people, going out, etc, no matter what kind of a psycho you can become, you'll always find people to hang out. Art, culture, etc are excellent ways also to clear my mind. Or shopping

                                                                                And yeah... drugs are good to stay sane, definitely.

                                                                                        Basically a huge part of a person's social life (meeting friends etc) is done at work or at school.

                                                                                        I would suggest taking some classes you might enjoy, it can be anything. Painting for example, or simply enrolling part time in school, for fun. Or, join a gym or a sports team in a "house" league.

                                                                                        That will allow you to meet more people. Going to bars and shit is not the best way to meet people.

I find myself sleeping in every single day. I need something to get my ass out of bed, and even get out of the house. I'm thinking get up and go out for a coffee or something, but still kind of lonely. All I do is work and my life is getting really boring.
