Boredom and waiting is when all the essential thought-structuring happens, that we miss nowadays.
Because we are able to fill every minute with media, which often engage our emotions too, we get distracted and worse at prioritising.
If you can, allow yourself 5 minutes each day without apps, music or even books. It's worth it.
- Moru 10y agoAs long as I can remember I have had periods when I have been bored. When I was small I kept nagging at my parrents and they just ignored it, it's important as a child to find things to do by yourself. When I got older I started feeling proud that I could just sit and wait without bouncing off the walls. Now I get a bad conscience when I'm not doing something, it feels like I'm not pulling my weight. But at the same time I know that being bored is important for my wellbeeing. This is time when my brain gets to rest and recover.
