Coping with Boredom

For those adults struggling with ADHD, how do you cope with boredom especially if your job is exhaustingly boring? I can't seem to find any good advice for dealing with this issue effectively. Hobbies are great when you aren't at work and if your family let's you have time. Has anyone found any effective solutions?

Every time I was bored in my previous job, I would just be daydream while working. If you want, I can teach you how to have fun daydreams. I did that with my co-worker. We laughed and talk about each other daydreaming daily, every day. Never stop amazing me how much he loved to talk about his daydreaming, that I helped him stabilize. 😊

The technique takes around 15min for texting to be effective, and at least fun if nothing else. Message me in my profile if you want to chat and have fun, or just to socialize. I present the option of me helping you, but we can just chat about other things just to have someone to talk to. I bit lonely. And I not pushing you to do something you don't feel comfortable with.😇

Sure I would be interested in learning more about it. I used to day dream as a kid a lot but I guess I "grew out of it" as a became a teenager and its been hard to go back.
