Comment on How do you combat boredom?

I can’t fathom being bored. In half a century, I don’t think I’ve ever felt bored.
My problem is that I have too many hobbies AND too many things that have to get done, and I will occasioanlly shut down and do none of them, but that’s more panic than boredom.

Same. I also cannot fathom the number of people who say “I’m not looking forward to retirement, I don’t know what I would do with myself”.
In this day and age, there are unlimited options to read, watch, listen to, interact with, play and learn. And this isn’t even limited to consuming digital content. Learn to sculpt, or take apart a computer, or make a movie on your phone, or write a story, or learn a language, or learn a new physical skill (juggling?).
The amount of time and energy (and money, although many options are free) are the barriers, not the options available… and yet I sit here and play Balatro and Enter the Gungeon for the millionth time (#noragrets).
