Boredom is the uncomfortable state of wanting to engage in satisfying activity, but being unable to do it.
Brene Brown Atlas of the Heart p. 40
When we're bored we experience a lakc of stimulation, time seems to pass very slowly, and if we're working on tasks, they seem to lack challenge and meaning.
