Boredom in a class, a sport or a job is information. Listen before you push through it forever.

Boredom is not always laziness. Sometimes it is the right signal arriving in an inconvenient form: the thing is not challenging enough, or not yours, or the part you liked got replaced by admin. Powering through is a real skill and not a universal answer, because you can spend years pushing through a signal that was accurate.

When boredom keeps showing up in the same place, get specific about what exactly is dull. The repetition, the people, the lack of difficulty, the fact that nothing depends on you. Some you can change from where you stand, and knowing which is which is most of the work.
