Huge +1 to this, this time is super stressful — especially for people working full-time, and also doing full-time child care.

Another note — when I find myself bored, it's often because I'm really feeling anxious or depressed. It's not that I don't want to entertain myself or create something cool, it's that my brain is incapable of focusing on anything, so instead I just aimlessly drift from task to task. It's a terrible cycle that ends up making me feel worse.
