Idle time is the worst. I like to read, workout and yes...clean. So at any given time I can do any of that at a moments notice to take my mind off things. I think the kicker is getting your ass in gear and beginning to do something else. Just have some hobbies for yourself and make a list of chores that can be done and post it somewhere for your to always see.

Another thing that helped me was making a list of all things I wanted to do, all the books I wanted to read, all the places I wanted to go....I had a really big list all said and done! Then you just pick from your list and go

 

wait a minute... the most experienced artist in the world would never say that about himself
So I am guessing: either open your mind to how deep you can go with music and drawing.... or perhaps admit that you are not that interested in it...
One way to kick the door open with art is to smoke some pot and check it out again... (and go for the real stuff jazz and classical)
And even tho that worked for me it got me into a heap of trouble (the pot that is)
I can do much more much better and much deeper with self-hypnosis
And even if drawing and music is not for you self hypnosis is really funny and may also get you some answers
Oh other suggestion: go outside and check out where you live

 

ah ha ha ok i see... hmm
I see I fled to music to get the intensity I miss with ppl, but for a while I tried pursuing it as a profession and it became super stressful. Anyway if it's interaction you want then you need to sign up for something that helps you meet ppl. So check out something like www.meetup.com and go do something that might be of interest, gets you out of your place and out and about with ppl. Someone advised me to sit in on a course where babes are prone to go, things like anthropology, pretend to struggle with the material (which is easy if you do not study) and ask for help
