Summary: Why we should pay attention to our boredom
1. Boredom tends to be externalised & objectified but it reflects our internal mood state. Boredom should not be trusted.
2. To avoid the pain of boredom, people become avoidant or resignated. Due to a loss of agency and of imagination. We need to protect our bored minds which become primed for distractions.
3. Get strategic about managing our boredom. Name and talk about these strategies.

I think boredom is the brain’s way of telling us we need a change. It could be a change of perspective. Ex: math is boring to me but the history of it isn’t- now I know the history and math is way more fascinating.
It could be a physical change, like dyeing your hair because you’re bored of your current hair color.
Boredom may also signify that you need to take time for yourself. You might be overworked or burnt out.
I don’t think boredom is the enemy. I think it’s an incredibly useful signifier. Boredom has caused me to branch out and learn new things, try new activities, explore, and form new relationships. If I never got bored, I’d be a boring person.

When getting strategic about managing boredom after going through many years of being at risk how do I narrow my focus again while avoiding negative comments offered to me by people outside of school about how i should continue giving up learning any computer languages at age 67? At the time I had to agree being very slow at typing meant it would not be my forte when learning computer coding anyway.

the “complaining” negative loop is how the media gets us to stop caring about every political matter ever. War in Ukraine, Massacres in Gaza, Reubuplican government hypocrisy, Democrat government ineffectiveness, Pandemics, Homelessness, Pipelines, Loot Boxes, CEOs, everything. And it’s really f*ckin effective.

In my opinion there is no such thing as boredom. A person can feel anxiety when there is no external stimulus when a person is addicted to stress. Emotional peaks. Which is almost anyone in modern high developed countries. Children are brought up with fast moving pictures before their eyes all the time. Parents play with them. They play with other children in kindergarten. All the time high emotions. No one is teaching them how to be self aware. How can we expect from them to eventually sit still and listen to the teacher in school? How can we expect from such adults to work constantly on something hard to achieve for a longer period of time? Quick reward is an ultimate goal.

If you can control boredom well, it will be a pretty good state of feeling to have. It’s like a signal that motivate us to change and take some actions to get out of it. If you constantly avoids boredom, you’ll be easily end up with constant distractions. Besides, boredom also gives us time to think about our own problems (which is quite rare nowadays)
