Yes! There are contradictions at the heart of it!
But i think there needs to be balance, and too often when my mind is bored it reaches out to the little dopamine device. The cheap and free tiny spark of joy eating into the more enduring and powerful joy that comes from hard work. Or at least the creative spark of boredom.
So I’m trying to reign it in, maybe I’ll try allocating some specific time during the day for this stuff so I can lock my phone away and feel bored other parts of the day :)
