distracted

It's impossible to be bored these days. I mean truly bored, the type of boredom where you really stretch you imagination to just have some escape. Almost everywhere I go there is always a t.v., a radio, a computer or worst of all my phone there to offer me distractions. When I realized this I began to make a conscious effort to escape from technology if even for 15 minutes and just allow my mind to wander and think about any problems at hand. Most often this is in the shower where even if i wanted to I could not bring in my phone. As an experiment try leaving your phone behind, after the initial separation anxiety and panic feeling of being cut off, it's pure bliss when you realize your not being interrupted every five minutes by the incessant buzzing of an incoming message.
