Taking a break from music can be fun. Eventually, your brain starts to play music for you anyway.

Nothing will test your willpower like attempting a music free morning and Pompeii by Bastille gets stuck in your head. Been there.

I like this - I have been there .. am there … I like the idea of reinvigorating creativity … this points to where our creative urges come from now … I used to get ideas from conversation + experiences… now it comes as a response to the daily wash of stuff on my phone

I've got a different version of the same thing. Your dad must have done something, even if it was watched TV because no-one really spends most of their spare time staring into space. Intriguing that you refer to it as boredom. Do you differentiate between 'boredom' and 'state of undistractedness'?
