lol...I kinda thought so, too. It didn’t help. Was hoping someone might find something interesting in it and be able to point it out.

Boredom is a universal experience I can't remember the last time I was bored. There's too much to do.

Boredom is quite a dull subject.

Good time for pondering. Its why I consider insomnia to be a blessing rather than a curse.

In many ways, boredom is a modern luxury.Exactly what their 'study' says.

You ain’t kidding.
I’m 80 and have so much to do I have to pay people to help. I thought I would slow down in my 60’s. Did that happen? Never. I even had MORE to do. I have accepted that I will probably be polishing cars or shoveling rocks when I finally join the choir invisible.

FR definitely helps. Don’t tell the higher ups, but I do even get bored with it sometimes.

I do not get bored easily, at least not by doing nothing. Put on some Ken Burns documentaries and I’m bored for the duration. It is easier to be bored by something than nothing, for me anyway.

Same here. I haven’t known boredom since I was a kid in the 1970s. Way too much to do and not enough hours in the day! Also, that stack of unread books gets larger and larger.

>> Videos of fish-farm management techniques
Heh... so that’s what they find boring. I’d be GLUED to a video of fish-farm management at this stage of my life! You’d LOL if you saw some of the papers I’m reading on the subject of pond management. Here’s one chosen at random: “Texas Farm Ponds: Stocking, Assessment, and Management Recommendations”
On the other hand, given a choice between a root canal or reading a golfing magazine, I’d probably choose the dental work.
To each their own.
