The best ideas are born during these times. When you start to be able to tolerate boredom, you'll notice a few things. First, you won't get tired of life so easily. Second, you'll have more patience for work. Third, you'll start to think seriously about goals, direction, and meaning. You no longer feel empty, but more clear-headed. After 7 PM, avoid electronic devices. Don't keep your phone next to you when sleeping. During meals, never use electronic devices at home.
