Ah yes, the Quantum Boredom Principle. At last, a framework that scientifically validates my ability to scroll Twitter, open the fridge, and rewatch season 2 of The Office—simultaneously—while achieving nothing in any known universe.

I must thank the author for finally putting into words what my therapist has been calling “avoidance” and what I now understand to be “subatomic productivity drift.” My consciousness isn’t fragmented—it’s just obeying the laws of metaphysical multitasking.

Somewhere, Schrödinger’s cat is both reading this article and asleep from it. And honestly? I respect him more than ever.

Bravo. This article didn’t just describe boredom. It generated it in real-time. A truly immersive experience.
