How long can you do nothing until you get bored?

Like just sitting doing absolutely nothing? Maybe 20 minutes at most, unless I have a nice vista to look out at.

Nothing as in sitting and staring into space? Or nothing as in nothing productive ?

Boredom is not a thing I ever suffer from. If there’s music, I can sit/lie and listen to it with my eyes closed for hours. If there’s literally nothing, my mind can fill in the blank space for hours. I’m always amazed by the amount of stuff to amuse themselves people take on planes or trains. I can happily spend 8 hours in a train doing nothing but listening to music and looking out the window. And I can sit on a plane for 7/8 hours listening to music with my eyes closed.

Depends how tired I am. If I'm not tired, doing nothing for any amount of time becomes unbearable right away.

There's not a time period, only boring people get bored....oh shit I'm turning into my mother 😨
