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.
