Life never has a meaning. Whatever you do, will be washed away with death. As death is inevitable, you don't have to worry about it. Until it comes, try to enjoy things. Practical way to do this is - stop thinking. if-else won't work. get some physical activity or some creative work. chck book - wisdom in insecurity by alan watts. initial pages may not sound good, but after that it is gem. once you start enjoying each moment without worry (even worry of meaning) of future and past, death is also just another moment.
For boredom, stop using cellphone, facebook, HN and everything for few days. And invest in building, creating or watever work you like, with focus. If you don't like anything, just start with something, after few days you will see difference. key here is patience.
Above both statements seem contradictory. But that is how life works. Get away from instant pleasures. Devote to process without thinking about fruits. See nature. Gist is start doing something, stop worrying outcome and focus on finishing it but don't get obsessed with fruits. This is also meaningless but it will give some involvement in life and take a away from thoughts.
Remember always, life is all about journey not destination. Make your ride enjoyable. Either you enjoy or not, destination is fixed. Your ride is your responsibility, not others. If you keep thinking, you will miss beautiful scenery of life.
if you're spiritual person, look into indian advaita philosophy and stoicism.
