Boredom has benefits. In a society obsessed with productivity and outputs, it can be difficult to reframe how we view boredom. Capitalism tells us that we are only valuable when we are being productive and contributing to society which leads to many of us feeling guilty for our downtime.² But we need time to do nothing. Our value isn’t reliant upon our outputs- we are valuable even when we’re doing nothing. Being productive all the time is actually not productive at all. Think about it, is it healthy to always be busy? Probably not. Does this lead to burnout? Often, yes. We are not machines, after all
