“My 2026 goal is to be bored more often”

From Colin Devroe on his goal for 2026:

I think the modern world has afforded us all more time than we know what to do with and we’re squandering it. I know this isn’t true for everyone, and certainly not true of people everywhere, but many of us live in a time of abundance and we’re not spending enough time being bored.

If my kid hates anything, it’s being bored or practicing something. I like to remind him that it takes practice to be bored. And being bored takes practice.
