Boredom is a totally underestimated and undervalued mental state these days. IMO it's quite difficult to become bored these days with all the distractions of the Internet. Many great thinkers went to rural "boredom resorts" to let their ideas thrive after they got stimuli from crowded cities.

I hate it when my precious limited boredom gets intruded on by nagging feelings that I need to learn or achieve something to avoid falling behind. I seldom have the energy/willpower to learn or achieve well anyway, and end up wishing I had enjoyed my boredom instead.
