"Only boring people get bored."

This has been a life-long challenge - in a good way. Whenever I feel boredom approaching, I try to change the situation or come up with a more creative way of viewing the moment. Not always successful, but it's a good practice.

This is also parenting advice I use. When the kids say they are bored (because they want to drone away on the iPad), I say ‘it is good to be bored!’

Within a few minutes they always find new ways to not be bored:)
