"... Like I always say, "If you're bored, you're boring."
If I could go back and visit my younger self, I would push her out the door and tell her, "Don't come home until you've had an adventure! You are a young woman in a wonderful town. Go to the art museum; take a class; visit a girlfriend. You ought to be struggling to choose what to do today, not killing the hours like they were flies. Before you know it, you'll have children and wish you had so much free time at your disposal!"
... I learned a little trick so that I would never be bored: when I was almost too busy to think, I would still take a moment to write down the things I would love to do if I only had the time. Then, when free time presented itself, I did not run the danger of being unable to think of something to do, since I had a list to consult."
