We all know that many people are sitting home and going nuts... I keep on getting complaints about renewed nisyonos and falls..
please help with ideas to combat boredom and keep strong....
If i may suggest, if someone needs a remote chavrusa  they can go to chavrusamatch.com or torahmates.orgOther ideas might be doing exercise, listening to or playing music, hobbies...

yes I fully agree, Boredom is a major problem now, for those of us who are temporarily at home, not working, not going to minyan, not going to yeshiva or learn w our chavrusas.

what we need is structure.  we still must somehow maintain the same schedule every day.  daven shacharis at the same time, try to set up chavrusas over the phone at the same time.  to keep a schedule like this requires motivation & effort, which in itself is a challenge.

I dont have any more suggestions at the moment.  I myself am bored, unmotivated, & lacking structure.  I'm looking for solutions.

Thanks David for starting this important thread. Too many guys who came so far having a rough time. Your remote chavrusa idea is very wise.
