You made me remember when I was little. I dare not make any friend then😅😅
Well, that’s how African parents were then. They were so over protective. 
Also, I love to read a lot but mine is novels and not just those inspirational movies out there, lol 

I get bored and lose interest in things easily. It seems like I do it more often these days. Reading for entertainment is something I used to enjoy, but it is taking me forever to get through books these days. I watch about 10 minutes of a movie and turn it off or start doing something else like read people's blogs on Hive or watch a documentary. 

I also have my podcasts that I consume while I'm doing chores around the house or at the gym. This is valuable because I would be working for an hour or two with my body but enslaving my mind (which could be resting, but is paying attention to a politics and finance podcast)

> why I don't read that much these days.

I feel like the content I read daily brings me value, brings me experience, enriches my day-to-day life, even if it might not be some tangible asset now (like $SPS or $HBD). Yeah it can be a drag to try and devour a big book of fantastical fiction, but there are surely are some non-fiction work that would help to educate you and bring you more value. I can dig it though, get motivated to read by bringing value to your life. I get motivated to read because we just got a treadmill and I can feed 2 birds with 1 scone!

Teaching children at an early age is very good. great performance with that friend. Greetings from Venezuela

I've heard that it is important for kids to bored as well. It helps them think and realize what they want to do. If parents have a full schedule for their child all the time, the child will just be going with the flow. 

I hardly ever feel unpleasantly bored. I like operating at a slower, unhurried pace, so I spread my days out work wise. I also love long stretches of doing nothing of any "value," which might be how you see these "unproductive" times of mine. But I find myself infused with happiness when I sit and do nothing, so there is a great deal of value to *me.* 

When I am antsy though, different story. At those times when I cannot bring myself to do some task or other that needs doing, and I cannot relax as a result, I go for a walk in nature. Then I am doing nothing, while getting some simple exercise. 

Looks like you always want to have something to pinpoint from all the things you read or listen to. Well, that’s the aim and not for unnecessary entertainment but people like me can’t read a book for long or even listen to podcasts for a week like you, lol
It’s a good habit though and there is usually something to learn from them though
Nice one!

> What do you do when bored?

Make worthless entertainment to waste other people's time XP

On a pure technicality I don't have time to be bored as there's always something demanding my attention but in reality I'm often bored out of my skull doing stuff that needs to be done but that I don't care about in the slightest (like cleaning XD) so I usually try to do stuff in my head while doing the boring stuff but I seem to have lost that ability (hopefully it's a temporary thing from lack of sleep x_x).

Was smallsteps "bored" because there was "nothing" to do or "bored because she would much rather be doing anything but what she was doing at the time?

Sounds like a nice day out around that :) 

It's really great that Smallsteps is learning time management early. Teaching kids to value time helps them appreciate life more. Great job brother 

This is a nice query. Lately when bored I watch a movie or a series or cook. Cooking is like a psychotherapy for me and helps improve my mood. 
I used to read a lot but lately have abandoned this delight. I think I will return to reading. I believe that reading, culture in general, improve us as individuals.
Have a nice day!

I don't know what boredom is. There are so many interesting things in this world. Even a simple conversation with your child, how could it be boring? Our parents leave, then we leave, everything in this world is transitory, but there must also be something eternal, immaterial.

I think that is good for her. I hope she will also learn that time is priceless and will use it effectively in her life ;)
