    For me, the best prescription has been scheduling things for myself. Even mundane things like “I’m going to check the air in the tires tomorrow.” But also “That movie I’ve been meaning to watch for ages will be watched by me next Tuesday.”

    Then, I try to keep a running mental list of things I can be doing, but which have no particular priority - reading, playing a video game, watching something, ticking a chore off the to-do list. If I’m feeling indecisive, that’s a sign that maybe none of the things on my list are any better than the others, and so I’ll pick one at random and force myself to get it started and put my whole attention into it. That’s usually the hardest part. Once I get going and force myself to put the phone away and engage with something, it’s easier to melt into it, and I’m no longer bored because I’m now busy.
