Suppressing boredom diminishes productivity and the likelihood of finding meaning at home, as well.

Guarding against the things I use to avoid boredom is the most effective way I've found of doing the things I'll feel good about later.

You may have misunderstood. "Suppressing" here means ignoring boredom and powering through it. It sounds like you interpreted it to mean the opposite.

Love to hear examples of things you guard against. And if you have a good guard.

Article seems to be more that you shouldn't "power through" boredom. Sounds like if you can sprinkle fun in, that would be enough to make it not boring? Where fun could be challenging yourself to something. "How much of this can I get in arbitrary timeframe?" kind of challenges.
