Well, one way I do nothing is by reading LessWrong and other blogs, and posting comments.
I feel it’s a curiosity stopper to think of browsing the Internet as “doing nothing”. You learn, you communicate, you help, you signal your expertise. Find better understanding of the gist of your motivation and turn it into a sustainable plan for driving your day-to-day activity (in particular for making some money).
It’s not so much “doing nothing” as “something I do for no other reason than it’s become part of my standard routine”. I think I’ve become very much driven by habit; I have a tendency to keep playing a video game even after I’ve decided I don’t like it very much and have plenty of others I could be playing.

Sometimes I play through my videogames repeatedly trying to set time records. (OK, I’ve only really done that once, for a couple weeks.)
