Being Bored Is a Good Thing.
I feel capitalism tries to trick us into thinking that you constantly need to be productive, and that boredom and having downtime is a sign of being “lazy.” — Which is the BIGGEST crime to commit when our society only seems to reward those who sacrifice their lives to making money for capitalists. I think it’s time we flipped the switch. Being bored is a good thing.
About a month ago I was working at a crazy, hectic job that had me constantly stressed out of my mind. Thankfully, I quit just a few weeks ago and since have been occupying myself by taking online classes. But, — I just had this one problem, even though I do have things to do, I was bored.
I work only part-time now, pretty infrequently, due to my online classes. My days are pretty much up to my own discretion, mainly sitting in front of a computer screen. It’s pretty low-key, and I can take as many breaks as I want. The day is completely mine to do what I wish.
I’m not gonna lie to you, it was really really nice at first; however, like with any routine, it can get boring sometimes. (Especially when you have ADHD like me, you tend to get bored pretty quickly.) I started to stress myself out, thinking I was lazy, that I wasn’t doing enough with my day, that I need to be doing more.
