For me to be effective at what I want to accomplish (and I want to do so many things - there is not enough time in the day), I needed to take some more proactive steps in the right direction. I ended up deleting all social media apps from my phone - I realized that I spent too much time handling notifications from those. Having the time to be bored gives one time to think about a variety of things that otherwise would be preoccupied by pointless things.
