Psychology says people who intentionally limit their social media use aren't more disciplined than everyone else - they became more honest about what the unlimited version was replacing, which was the interior life, the undirected thought, the boredom that produces things, and once they understood what was being replaced they didn't need discipline, they needed only the honesty to stop - Silicon Canals

Boredom can lead to meaningful engagement and creativity, rather than being a sign of lack of activity.
