I find that many of my friends try to pack their lives full as adults. No one embraces boredom at all. I'm a rock climber, so I know what it's like to get out and do something, but holy crap are people scared of "wasting a day".
- hvidgaard 10y agoI think it's an epidemic we face. We have everything at our fingertips, and compare our average to other peoples best (think of all the posts on facebook). Being bored for long enough time, eventually leads to introspection - and I think that for some people that is a scary thing. It may just be confimation bias, but when I look around me, people that are fine with sitting a sunday in their garden and enjoy a book, are more content with their life, than people that have the next 9 weekends booked with various activities.

- irremediable 10y agoThis comment really spoke to me. To a surprising extent, actually. I love having some days with no responsibility, no plan, no compulsory activity. That feeling of freedom and effortless enjoyment is one of the most satisfying feelings I know. And, looking back, it's often been that same freedom that's spurred me on to learn/make things. So, anecdotal, but don't be too busy!
