Quit my job for simpler life, now soooo bored.

So I quit my job a few months ago to live a simpler life. I got rid of all my expenses except for my car and my cell phone. I moved into my trailer on one of my friends land. I pay no rent and work for my father once or twice a month for 200 bucks a day. I have enough money to do what I need to so I really don't want to work doing something I don't enjoy. I'm incredibly bored though. What would you do everyday if you didn't have to get out of bed?
I find myself sleeping until noon and staying awake late at night thinking about what a lonely life I've created for myself. What can I do to bring purpose to my life without going back to a depressing 9 to 5 job?

That's a lot of down time to get some projects rolling. Sounds ideal to me.. it would be a shame to look back and have wasted all that time when you could be setting some things in motion..

Hold yourself to a higher standard. Get a gym membership, eat amazingly healthy, go out and fuck amazing women. Make your life awesome
Your life right now is piss poor and you're doing the bare minimum. A man is driven by purpose

My thoughts exactly. I'm just bewildered that I can't even think of one thing I enjoy doing. Clearly that's a sign of anhedonia and I should probably work on that, but I'm really just looking to brainstorm some ideas of activities that I could be doing.

All my shrooms supplies are in storage as I have very little space in my 14 foot dwelling. That's one hobby I'm sure I'm unable to do at this time.

Take the time to teach yourself something OP.
The purpose of time off is the better yourself, learn something new. You have to be a self starter though. You have to work at it.
Learning a new language is great. As an adult, it is one of the hardest thing to learn and yet the most satisfying. Reading a paragraph of another language and understanding it for the first time is really something.
Here's a German paragraph written in German:
Quote:
Mein Job ist vielseitig und spannend. Meine Hauptaufgabe ist es, Ansätze für gleiche Arbeitsmöglichkeiten von Frauen und Männern in der Privatwirtschaft zu entwickeln. Dazu gibt es noch nicht viele umfassende Konzepte. Was bedeutet das konkret? Wir bereiten zum Beispiel gerade einen Bericht vor, der zum ersten Mal darlegt, wie groß der Frauenmarktanteil für die Versicherungsindustrie im Jahr 2030 sein wird. Wir erklären in dem Bericht, der im September 2015 herauskommt, was Versicherungsfirmen insbesondere in Schwellenländern tun können, um Frauen und ihre Familien besser zu versichern. Wir wollen damit erreichen, dass Frauen ihre Risken privater und beruflicher Art besser managen können und damit zum Wachstum beizutragen.
You don't understand shit.
But after you've learned it, everything in that paragraph makes sense to you. It might sound stupid, but it feels really awesome

After school finished in may, I just stayed home sleeping all day and shit and not doing much for a month. Then I got incredibly bored and got a job. Asked myself why the fuck I didn't do that a month ago.

I had the same problem, working a 9-5 job I hated. So I had to quit. I dont really get bored. Working 9-5 that was the real boredom that I hated. not having a job is like having freedom, I feel. working everyday felt like slavery to me and I hated it.

Yeah, if someone could please explain to me what boredom is like... I must not have felt that since my early teens. It isn't because I do much either. I am just unable to feel bored. I can stare in the distance for a full day and be entertained... I guess I should get a trailer.
