Importance of rest and recovery
The state of boredom
Boredom is that feeling of dissatisfaction with the world around you and disinterest in your current activity. While you want to be engaged with the world, you don't want to do any of the activities in front of you.
Boredom is our brain telling us it's time to switch activity. That feeling of restlessness is motivating us to find new pursuits that will bring more satisfaction.

Reasons for boredom
- Boredom is the inability to pay attention, because a task is too difficult, too simple or doesn't feel meaningful to us at present.
- Boredom does not have to lead to poor choices. Understanding the reasons why people are bored is important in finding good solutions.

How to deal with boredom
Rather than being frustrated with boredom or using it as an excuse, find out why you feel discontent.
- Most important is to stop dwelling on the idea that you are bored.
- Instead, figure out why you're bored right now.
- Create a list of activities for when you feel energetic and bored, and when you're feeling more tired. The activity could be reasonably mindless, like knitting an easy pattern or getting a cup of coffee. The point is to find an activity that feels meaningful.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
