I don't miss my bored days.

Yesterday I finished a Netflix show before sleeping. A good Indonesian supernatural/horror show that I commented with @dewabrata about is called "Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams". That show had 7 episodes and I could finish in 10 days. Why? I don't have much time left during the day. During my awake time I work, but when I am not working, I am doing house chores or trying to make kids not feel bored. So, for a while now, I haven't had any time to feel bored! But what happens when I am bored?

Probably the last opportunity that I had the chance to feel bored was last April when I spent 2 weeks without my family. We were going to visit our family in Brazil, but my wife and kids went ahead, 10 days before me since I didn't have enough days off from work. So for sure two weekends I had all of them just for me. So those weekends I had my mind empty with tasks, of course, that I had to maintain the minimum to keep the house working well, but I became lazier and slower than usual.

So the boredom starts to itch our mind and that creates a bit of anxiety asking us all the time, "so now what we are going to do ?" My first action was turning on my video game that I didn't play for years. An X-Box One console. I didn't turn it on for a long time, so I couldn't even find the power cable anywhere. My wife usually doesn't like to see cables around so she probably stored them somewhere that I didn't know. But then I realized that our printer's power cable had the same entry. So when my mind was plugged into a videogame, the day passed fast, and then I had to be cautious about unplugging me from the videogame to finish my tasks during the day.

So I would say the videogame is something that entertains my mind if it is bored. But usually, if I had tasks like mowing the lawn and cleaning the house also kept my mind busy. However, I can remember also when I used to be single living in my parent's home. During that time boring days were easier to come, I used to spend a lot of time on the Internet chatting in places like MIRC, but still, many times I didn't have much to do there so my mind used to complain a lot. So probably having a family helped me cure my bored days.

The life before a wife and kids was lazier with fewer things to do, so I experienced boredom more frequently, now, if I have 2 days a year that I can feel it again it is a lot! With busy weekends that start with swimming classes, groceries and much playing time with kids, probably I miss some time by my own, to myself. So the balance between the time that we need us and our busy time is tricky to find, and we are always going to complain that something is missing in both places. But I recognize that the anxiety that I feel when I am bored doesn't visit me for a while right now so I think it is nice.

Ontem terminei uma série da Netflix antes de dormir. Uma boa série sobrenatural/terror da Indonésia sobre a qual comentei com @dewabrata se chama "Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams". Essa série teve 7 episódios e eu consegui terminar em 10 dias. Por quê? Não tenho muito tempo durante o dia. Durante meu tempo acordado, trabalho, mas quando não estou trabalhando, estou fazendo tarefas domésticas ou tentando fazer as crianças não ficarem entediadas. Então, já faz um tempo que não tenho tempo para ficar entediado! Mas o que acontece quando estou entediado?

Provavelmente a última oportunidade que tive de ficar entediado foi em abril passado, quando fiquei 2 semanas sem minha família. Íamos visitar nossa família no Brasil, mas minha esposa e meus filhos foram na frente, 10 dias antes de mim, pois não tive dias de folga suficientes do trabalho. Então, com certeza, tive dois fins de semana todos só para mim. Então, nesses fins de semana, fiquei com a mente vazia com tarefas, claro, que eu tinha que manter o mínimo para manter a casa funcionando bem, mas fiquei mais preguiçoso e lento do que o normal.

Então o tédio começa a coçar nossa mente e isso cria um pouco de ansiedade nos perguntando o tempo todo: "e agora o que vamos fazer?" Minha primeira ação é ligar meu videogame que não jogo há anos. Um console X-Box One. Fiquei muito tempo sem ligá-lo, então não consegui nem encontrar o cabo de energia em lugar nenhum. Minha esposa geralmente não gosta de ver cabos por aí, então ela provavelmente os guardou em algum lugar que eu não conhecia. Mas então percebi que o cabo de energia da nossa impressora tinha a mesma entrada. Então, quando minha mente estava conectada a um videogame, o dia passava rápido, e então eu tinha que ser cauteloso sobre me desconectar do videogame para terminar minhas tarefas durante o dia.

Então eu diria que o videogame é algo que entretém minha mente se ela estiver entediada. Mas geralmente, se eu tivesse tarefas como cortar a grama e limpar a casa, também mantinha minha mente ocupada. No entanto, também me lembro de quando eu era solteiro morando na casa dos meus pais. Naquela época, os dias chatos eram mais fáceis de acontecer, eu costumava passar muito tempo na Internet conversando em lugares como o MIRC, mas ainda assim muitas vezes eu não tinha muito o que fazer lá, então minha mente costumava reclamar muito. Então, provavelmente ter uma família me ajudou a curar meus dias de tédio.

A vida antes de uma esposa e filhos era mais preguiçosa com menos coisas para fazer, então eu sentia tédio com mais frequência, agora, se eu tiver 2 dias por ano que eu possa sentir isso de novo, é muito! Com fins de semana ocupados que começam com aulas de natação, compras e muito tempo para brincar com as crianças, provavelmente eu perca algum tempo sozinho, para mim mesmo. Então o equilíbrio entre o tempo que precisamos de nós e nosso tempo ocupado é difícil de encontrar, e sempre vamos reclamar que algo está faltando em ambos os lugares. Mas eu reconheço que a ansiedade que sinto quando estou entediado não me visita por um tempo agora, então eu acho que é legal.

There's no time for boredom when you have young kids. Family life really takes you away from your old hobbies which can be hard. I had a few years that I wasn't able to get out an gold when my son was young. Eventually he got old enough to golf as well and he loves it. He also was a video game lover, so I ended up playing video games a lot with him! Enjoy the insanity while it lasts, because in a blink of the eye they will grow up!

For sure ! like I said in your post, I want so bad to buy legos and give a shot with my oldest one, but we have a 3years old that loves to do a mess !! Our monopoly is all screwed up already lol.
