“If you’re bored with life...or you don’t get up every morning
with a burning desire to do things...you don’t have enough
goals.” -Lou Holtz

So if boredom is the symptom I guess I need to make some goals. Concrete plans. defined goals. real time frames.

Flippant: Then you just get frustrated when whatever is binding you up is preventing you from pursuing them.

See: Me, last job.

Less Flippant: Be careful about confusing "bored" with "burnt out from having too many goals" which is generally my problem.

But yes, I'm a huge proponent of goal setting, both with concrete time frames, and working backwards from the end state, and larger philosophical statements.

Totally me 2: i need more reasons to stay up once i get up. Working on a list of small projects or scheduled things that give my day shape.

Agree vigourously with Less Flippant, above
