How to fight boredom (or not to)

I have seen articles which are almost clueless about this idea. There are too much of advise out there and it is mostly garbage.

The issue is in the transition of society into paid services, where almost everything is getting monetized, and you pay more to avoid distractions.

The ads absorbs out attention, which is the most significant resource, not time, but attention.

You need time alone for your own sake, to resolve, to heal, to observe yourself, to re-evaluate your relationships and to nurture them, to make correct choices, to solve your inner battles, inner conflicts, to re-arrange your society in your mind. Acutally that's a lot to absorb.

You need time too to educate yourself about learning languages, to use both training strategies (easy and hard) into your advantage.

**Boredom comes as a result of non-challenging exposure. As being in the zone which is not too hard or too easy is the cure for boredom**

So to conclude, there is a cure for boredom, and it is the graded exposure if you wish. Being in the zone where it is characterized by loss of sense of time and in the state of flow. Whatever your thing, seek to be at your level.

Being at your level requires testing against a scale of proficiency, which means building over time, with a tutor or kind of social support group.

 Knowledge workers have specific challenges that needs to be addressed. But this is a different question for different day..

Peace out :)
