Boredom is a good thing. It is the brain saying ‘you should be doing something important and useful and rewarding (in the ancient sense of rewarding behaviour, not drugs or screens or other addictions). Basically, don’t sit around, go do something.
Boredom is a type of motivation. Is is a call to action, an unpleasant sensation used to catalyze action. Feeling occasionally bored and then acting on it by doing useful stuff is good. Killing boredom via screens or whatever is bad.
