From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2013-04-04:
"Boredom is the brain's way to tell you you should be doing something else. But the brain doesn't always know the most appropriate thing to do. If you're bored and use that energy to play guitar and cook, it will make you happy. But if you watch TV, it may make you happy in the short term, but not in the long term." -- Gary Marcus, psychology professor.
