When I get fully into that task, details will be imagined, observed,
done, fixed, whatever is need will be done by me and my parts of brain
in that flow.
Before you bring attention into flowing in that task, before you flow
into it, people around may say that your task is boring. Strictly
speaking, while you haven't put attention into the task, you can
honestly call it boring: "Look. It is boring. I keep my attention
outside of it."
Boring is not an intrinsic property of a task. It is a measure of
attention you put into a task.
The social outside, both federated and centralized, seduce your
attention with whatever glamorous today. Sirens' call spells: "Bring
your attention here. Your current act is boring. Look at this glamour."
And, it starts to seem that boring is self-fulfilled.
This rational task in front of you isn't boring. It's just not glamorous.
