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.

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!!!!

thats practically it. boredom is so important. you don’t need to be doing something 24/7. if you are ok with being bored, you don’t need to think about what to do with yourself when you’re alone. just exist.

... 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."
