Seems the secret to being more sociable, sleeping better & being generally more productive is learning to tolerate boredom. Bugger.

I'd rather clean someone's house whilst listening to audiobooks than do an office job that bored me for twice as much money.

Someone who sells *themselves* is someone who sells the use of their mind to be used in a way they wouldn't use it by choice.

If I spend 40 hours a week thinking about selling carpets, I can then buy books & films & games & travel. Poor big-brained apes, we are.
