Seems there are differing definitions of "bored" here. Methinks the more common is "I have no idea what to do".
I'm not bored ever, as the universe provides an infinite array of things to observe or do - and that's assuming I've gotten thru my "to do" list, which I start every few months and soon give up on because it grows so long so fast there is no point in so much as prioritizing it (even top priority items will be so numerous as to take the whole foreseeable future). To the contrary, sometimes I find the plethora of options paralyzing.
- revdinosaur 15y agoHeh, I find myself doing almost exactly that. Funny thing is I usually browse HN for posts about task management. I really get satisfaction from checking things off and definitely benefit from prioritizing myself, but does anyone here have any tips on how to manage things in such a way as to not want to trash everything and start from scratch pretty regularly?
- jeremyarussell 15y agoKeep very detailed notes on everything you do, and if you ever decide to start something new then archive your notes, digitize them if possible and keep them until one day you decide to return to it. If you never decide to do that then give them to your children, (or the world if you think it's that good) etc. As far as doing something and trying not to get to that point at all, focus on the one project until it's finished.
