I have not only once noticed that i have a problem with routine and that i get bored easily. 15 minutes is my time limit - I do not watch a movie if after the first 15 min i still haven't understood what it is about.I cannot read something that i am not interested in for more than 15 min, i can not talk to a person i do not find impressing, i cannot wait for anyone without getting slightly uncomfortable for more than 15 minutes. If i do, i am deeply stressed even if it is not obvious at all times, as my anger pops out unexpectedly and lasts... guess what, not more than 15 minutes. But that does not mean that my life is separated into 15 min activities. My day is organized in conformity with both my needs and the needs of the society that i live with, it is shaped by the ethical and social norms and is a lot of the times planned according to pre-existing schedules that had been created some time ago, may it be a study plan, a work time-table, environment issues or time and space limitations.
Usually the solution to my problem is distraction. I can do mathematics for 15 minutes, then i read something really interesting, like Cost of working in a Digital World. The method has proven to be very successful, as i have reached the end of the book full of witty remarks and evil formulas. Yeay !
