Not a blog, but this is the best place for me to write my thoughts down I think.
This is something that I have been noticing a lot the last year or so. I think I am bored with the internet I read so much news, reddit, forums. I can burn through my entire days of reading in like 30 mins. It used to take me hours to get bored within a given day, but more and more recently I read everything so fast I have nothing to do on the web.
I think the excess of info has finally gotten to me, when I have so much to do and when people get used to something, they often get bored. I think this has happened to me. Not bashing this site, but when I first joined I could spend hours on this forum reading and replying to people. Now I check it maybe a few times a day and don't reply as often as I had.
Same with Reddit, it used to keep be busy for hours, now not so much, Maybe an hour max if I haven't used it in a few days and there are a lot of new links.
Ok I am not asking for help per se about how to not be bored. But I wouldn't mind. Also do others experience roughly what I am describing?
I do, I hope it doesn't seem like I sit at my computer bored for hours haha. It's just a bummer that this thing I used to find so interesting is no longer holding my attention very well anymore.
People get tired of things. Get new hobbies. I can't count the number of things that I actively have an interest in, and I switch between which one gets my attention and my time as necessary.
It isn't a huge problem of course. But it's still a bummer to not be as interested in a once enjoyable pass time. Also I do think reading news adds to my life, I like to know what is going on in the world.
same here, I used to watch a lot of documentary and do my own research. Now I gain more from re-reading the same book than going into endless stream of info.
The internet in many ways is boring. I often just see it now as a money generating machine for companies to take away my cash. I have stayed off it more lately making sure that when I am on it I don't do anything more than I want to do. For instance I was wasting way too much time doing surveys that were not paying well and I have replaced that time with me watching hockey games, playing cards, going back to the track for once, and so on. I also have to say I am very thankful to whoever it was that told me to stop shit posting. That took up loads of time and while at times I was just trying to have a laugh and maybe have others have a laugh it wasn't worth it for the amount of grief I was getting from it too. As for doing other things I would say also take a look at things you are not doing that you may be putting off because they are too hard or too time consuming. I know I do that. I am not saying you do but just take a look at that. Best of luck with things.
