You know... Distilling it down like this is a really great way to understand not only why it can be hard to focus but also what to do about it. Thanks for posting!

I started telling myself decades ago that boredom is a sign that everything is going smoothly - which makes me smile (dopamine).

learn to sit in boredom and just be bored, Just pay attention to the way your brain starts creating ways for you to have fun or do something that feels good. Sit and resist for a while and eventually youll relax. Youll start to enjoy boredom and having time to just be free in your mind to create whatever you want

I'm so proud of myself I saw the title of this video and waited 5 min before watching it. And sat in silence in the taxi stuck in traffic watching the golden rays of sunlight and I didn't even take any photos I just tried to be in the moment and let it go.

Boredom push us into action, and short form content like TikTok and the likes alleviate the boredom and thus letting us procrastinate or at least that's what I've observed from myself. I am aware of it yet I am still struggling with it.

There's a wonderful study where participants where put in a neutral boring empty room and had the option to give themself an electric shock by hitting a button .. most did so out of curiosity/boredom

“The most general survey shows us that the two foes of human happiness are pain and boredom. “

That's true When I get extremely bored I have two options Go to sleep or do something. I remember one time when I was a teenager we actually didn't have internet for like a week I don't remember why I just remember being so bored All I did was sleep because there was nothing else I had no interest in TV I was not a let's go outside person I didn't have money or a job to go just do stuff This was before Uber existed I didn't have a car or was driving and all I had were computer games and all of them were online games. That was the longest week of my life.

Okkk fine. In a roundabout way this reminded me to stop satiating my boredom with 30 second clips like how I've been doing and start my work. Thank you, I hope to find this short again later.

I am unable to feel boredom. Even if I just lie around and do nothing for hours, I don't feel bored.

[notequalto]

Knowing this has helped me realize my job makes me bored often.

Jokes on my brain, boredom paralyses me with apathy and I am really stubborn. The more bored I get, the more I sit there doing nothing until my brain gives up.

Boredom is essential to finding happiness

Never thought about it that way. Thanks Dr K.

This is too real. I gotta study but my brain is like a small child: "This is BORING. I want dopamine NOW. I WON'T BE QUIET UNTIL YOU GIVE ME DOPAMINE."

Boredom leads to creativity. When i spent 3 days in solitary confinement while serving my sentence, I came up with my signature hit “shawty in the club with no clothes on”.
