Hustle, make money. Lots of business plans work better with a safe quiet place to work out the behind the scenes stuff. From crafting to repair to resale you can do lots of things in a house that are tougher to do on the street. Look on Craigslist gigs section for ideas to get started.

pending.
i've been housed up for about a year now, staying at parents', friends' houses, etc. i'm working a shit job that pays well and gives me plenty of hours, saving up for my own place where i can grow a respectable garden and set up a library for my Pirate Books program (ask me about it!). i'm trying really hard to avoid staving off the boredom with drugs and booze which is harder than it sounds, but getting involved in projects is the most important thing you can do. putting my artistic flair to use, designing fliers/album art/merch for friends in bands has been a great use of my time, as well as patch-making, writing and creative outlets for boredom. also, Magic: The Gathering is a great, free way to kill an afternoon with yer friend. bong-rips optional ;)

ps: i've actually been making money off my writing! holy crap, dirty rig is a professional writer. watch out, hemingway. this drunkpunk's coming for ya

+1 for Magic cards and killing time. If you're nerdy enough to post here asking how to kill time, you're nerdy enough to play Magic.
