You need to be bored. Here's why.
Being bored can lead you to ask big questions (eg. what is the meaning of life?), which are beneficial and important in attaining happiness. The current explosion in mental health issues such as depression is largely due to the elimination of boredom through smartphones. Most people use their phones as a crutch in escaping boredom, making it harder to find meaning in life.
If you learn to be bored, you'll end up happier.
Remedies:
Aim for regular 15mins+ periods of being bored
No devices during meals
No devices during certain periods of the day
