When notifications pile up on your smartphone home screen, you never get bored. You are constantly stimulated by a series of alerts which create reward sparks on your brain. We fill any possible gap with an iPhone moment! Swiping on your old photos to checking on the latest Facebook comment, and thinking how to reply – or to feel less guilty, replying to a old email. We are living a life full of present moments. And boredom is not easy these days. It’s important to be bored, frustrated and we should feel terrible to take decisions which you have been procrastinating. Decision requires unbroken focus and thinking to arrive at it. It consumes our willpower battery! Some days of solitude, highly concentrated workshops, indepth conversations with someone whom you take seriously and sometimes even ‘doing nothing’ can recharge your willpower. Go, get bored!
