Some people say it's becoming impossible to get bored now. I'm trying not to follow my reflex of going to HN/Reddit/YT every time I feel even slightly bored but it's too easy. Eating breakfast - HN, going to sleep - YT, tj book is a bit boring - reddit. I'm 19 and although I didn't spend my childhood with a tablet, I've had a smartphone since I was 13 or so. I have no comparation but I think some part of me "went numb" because every time I feel a need of doing something I feed it with too many engaging but meaningless stories and the possibility of motivation just goes away. And since my phone is always with me it's like a permanent state. I just don't know anymore what it is like not to know what to do and suddenly feel motivated to do something. Instead I have to force myself to read that Haskell book I wanted to read for 2 months despite the fact that I just love (or had loved?) learning new things.
