How do you deal with boredom in work? (office job)

I only learned what quiet quitting was today but I guess that's what I'm doing in terms of work now. “Time thief” is the old term. Anyways, I am coasting along at work and I feel extraordinary boredom. There is very little to do in work, at least very little that is necessary. What is necessary I can do very quickly since tbh I'm way beyond the skillset needed for this job. I look around at other employees and they don't have any more work than I do. They do one of 3 things. a) They struggle to complete even the meagre work they are assigned b) They chill and coast and pretend (mostly what I do) c) They buzz around and create pointless work for themselves and others.

Anyways, I am coasting along at work and I feel extraordinary boredom. There is very little to do in work, at least very little that is necessary. What is necessary I can do very quickly since tbh I'm way beyond the skillset needed for this job.

I look around at other employees and they don't have any more work than I do. They do one of 3 things.

a) They struggle to complete even the meagre work they are assigned

b) They chill and coast and pretend (mostly what I do)

c) They buzz around and create pointless work for themselves and others.

I don't want to do any more work that I absolutely have to. Fuck that I get paid the same every month. So I am not going to do that.

But still the boredom is there.

I take my wfh days, 2 full days a week and a couple of hours in the mornings usually. It helps to be able to squeeze all the work I'm not doing at home into my office days but it doesn't help that much.

I have tried podcasts and things like that but I've listened to so many podcasts so far that I am now sick of them.

It doesn't help that my personal life is boring too right now but not much I can do about that.

Anyways, not sure what the point of this is other than that I'm fucking bored as hell dude oh my god.
