I think it's probably pretty reasonable to refer to most humans as being at least somewhat self-centered. Which implies: There's nothing quite so interesting as the thing you do yourself!

”Switching from consumption to production started to break the thick barrier of habit I had formed in the past.”

What works for me is consusly switching from general consumption of social media into consumption of content targetet towards creators. Then I found it easier to come up with something to do.

Great post. I’ve been working hard to encourage my children to understand this very concept.

With kids, you have to allow boredom to happen so that they will create ways to entertain themselves......like making toys out of leftover boxes, etc. I should limit the crossword puzzles I do each day to practice what I preach.

I spend 12+ hours a day writing code for open source projects that I started, many of which are very innovative projects. I spend my time learning, documenting everything I do, building tools that I want to use so that I can build other tools with those tools. If you are bored, it is because you have a sense of entitlement. "The world exists to entertain me", you may think. "I exist to entertain the world" is how you should be thinking.
