Bright stuff. Felt like a breakthrough about two years ago when
  I realized that boredom is my cue that I'm finished with
  something. Seems to simple but felt like an epiphany. "Wait - if
  I feel bored, that means I'm finished and I can move on to
  something else". So boredom was freedom because, suddenly,
  something is sparkling "just over there" and i can chase that
  instead rather than wondering why I was so bored. Boredom = I
  can finish it off (whatever the project is) and chase the new
  thing without feeling guilty.

  Doesn't hold true with people so much - ok, maybe a little bit
  but it's more complicated with people - but works great for pet
  projects.

  Joey's nailed it again!

  Joey's definitely got a book in his future. Teach a few ppl some
  things.
