It's the flood of information from news and from posts we read in from articles in emails and texts and podcasts, yes, even those, and the messages that we get. It's the overwhelm of any kind of input to our senses or our brains.Boredom doesn’t mean sitting around staring at blank walls.Three kinds of boredom:Active – doing a mindless task with sound turned offWaiting – not going to social media to pass the timeIntentional – setting up barriers to easy access to noiseTurn off the podcasts, music, and TV sometimes, and let your thoughts wander.Show notes and resources This is a public episode.
