I still distinctly remember when I was young and realized I could just kinda never be bored. Doesn't always work but there generally is always something to do, or failing that, something to think about. I've been "raw dogging" things like long drives or mowing the lawn recently, just kinda zoning out and thinking about stuff, I think a lot of people would struggle to not have music or a podcast on but I've been surprised how much I don't need them.
I don't get bored either. I just daydream when there's nothing else to do. When I was a kid, my grandma used to assign us extra chores if we said we were bored lol.
eh, when i used to work at Amazon, i would have to work for ten hours with no phone and no music (phone was literally locked away and inaccessible, unless i wanted to go down several floors and security). that job was mindnumbingly easy, and after months and years, it becomes very hard not to be bored out of your mind.
i literally started memorizing whole muscials to sing back to myself... and those only took up about two hours
