There may be spelling / grammar mistakes in my articles that make it through my editing, and that’s on purpose. I’m a recovering perfectionist (who was once VERY hard on himself) and one of the ways I’m learning to be compassionate on myself is by allowing mistakes to just … be.
Friends.
What if boredom isn't something we need to escape, but something we need to make room for? Maybe even intentionally put into our days?
Like, can you SCHEDULE BOREDOM into your life?
Is that even a thing?
You’re your own person - you can do whatever you want, HA!
Seriously, though.
I've been thinking a lot lately about technology, productivity, and the strange feeling that we should always be doing something, always be producing, always be doing MORE.
Do you feel this too?
I mean, with a computer, iPad, and smartphone always within reach (not to mention portable gaming systems, podcasts, audio books, etc.), it's almost impossible to be bored anymore. And, worse, sometimes it feels like there's something wrong with us if we're not being productive … if we (God forbid!) are feeling “bored” or “lazy”.
Lately, though, I've started to wonder what kind of creativity I might be missing out on because I'm afraid to be bored and live in a culture that makes me feel ashamed when I’m not being as productive as others.
Let's wonder about it together.
