Bored/Depressed by work – but it’s easy and pays pretty well. Advice needed

I'm not going to lie, I have it pretty easy. I work for a very nice and flexible company, have great colleagues and manager, and get to work from home full time. But I feel totally bored, stuck in a rut, unmotivated, and can barely bring myself to even do the bare minimum.

I'm not going to lie, I have it pretty easy.

I work for a very nice and flexible company, have great colleagues and manager, and get to work from home full time.

But I feel totally bored, stuck in a rut, unmotivated, and can barely bring myself to even do the bare minimum.

I work in an industry that I have no interest in. it is project based work, so there can be lots of down time.

If I'm honest, I can often feel like I'm lost in the system and getting paid for not much work.

I know this sounds like the ideal scenario to many – and I've tried to make it work to my advantage with going to the gym in the day time or selling things on eBay to keep me active. But, I can't help feel I am slowly rotting away…

I know this probably sounds like the self indulgent moaning of a complete cretin. But I'm just wondering what other people would do in this situation?

I have a family with two young kids, so I can't do anything too drastic.

Thanks for reading and not ripping into me too much
