... is such a gift and an art. Letting yourself reach the point of boredom is the more efficient way for your brain to reset and heal. Recently, I spent 2 months exploring the bounds of my free time, free schedule, and free brain space until finally reaching the point of "okay, I could use some structure and rigor again" was the only thing that has genuinely healed me from a traumatic workplace after a merciful layoff. Not rushing into the next thing saved me, especially being able to let my boredom tell me "you're ready to get back to it."

not taking on additional work or tasks. not working ahead. not having to be productive. a strange break in my schedule has given me a lot of free-time this week, and i have grown to value being bored sometimes more than always having to conquer some aspect of my life. yeah yeah everything is good in moderation but if i want to watch a 50 part tiktok series of some woman talking about her husband instead of doing a project 2 weeks early let me!!!!

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.

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!

WHY did we stop playing Wii Sports???? Why did technology continue to evolve after the perfect tech was created?? Its as fun (if not more fun) than you remember. It's so SIMPLE yet intuitive and allows you to actually feel present. To play a game without hyperrealistic graphics and unnecessary social aspects is BLISS. Wii Tennis the best thing in the world. I hope they bring it back for sale without modernizing one single thing.

please remove it so you don’t look like a secret agent at a wedding. If you don’t track your steps or have your emails on your wrists for a few hours you’ll be fine I promise!!!

If you’re a proud New Yorker (or reside in a big city), this poem will probably make you feel seen. One of the reasons that I love city life is all the signs that people aren’t regretting life.
