I think boredom is partially a result of forcing your brain to do something it doesn't want to for too long. For example, sitting in a chair or using a computer. It's better to treat the problem (stop sitting in the chair or using the computer) than treat the symptom (do something novel sitting down at your computer). I almost feel bad for hijacking this thread, but it is phrased in terms of boredom not "I made a Reddit reader".
