Will never understand this. Few things I like more than just sitting and thinking.

Force yourself to boredom! This is a good self-hack and it works x10 better if you remove ALL distractions from your environment. Humans are - on average - bad at handling lack of sensation seeking, and rather do something "painful" than being bored. -
