normalize being bored

i feel like i gotta let myself be bored more. i freak out when i have nothing stimulating or nothing to do, but in a society that relies so heavily on productivity and buying stuff, how about i just let myself have nothing to do? and allow the feelings that come with it i guess. half the time im only doing things to show people i do things.

being bored

I've seen people talking about how doomscrolling is filler time and you make no memories. 100%!!! Like I'll be bored for one second and then I'm on TikTok for two hours and that isn't an exaggeration. The other day I just let myself be bored and not scroll and like yeah I was super bored but I walked around the house and I took in my actual life a little bit and then I found something to do and I just felt like I gained my time back kind of. I also just think recently I've felt like I have to time to do the stuff that's important to me or that I enjoy but really I've just been sucked into a scrolling black hole and that suddenly I have time to do anything I want!

Boredom

Lynda Barry’s advice column and her response to this question: Dear Lynda, When you get bored, and you're so bored you don't even want to do anything to break up the boredom—it's that creeping, infectious boredom that's kind of like an anger—how do you avoid drinking too much? Thanks, Tipsy in Texas Generally have been thinking a lot about childhood boredom (not the depressive insidious boredom + drudgery of modern adult life that is referred to here), the function of it, and how there’s all these pop psych methods about ~getting in touch with your inner child~ but I think it could also be helpful to just allow yourself to be bored sometimes. Not a cell phone in sight type vibes. Literally watch some mf paint dry. I built worlds from boredom as a child. Summer is the perfect time to be bored. Boredom > Noticing > Attention > Presence

3-4 second videos instead of photos
