I don't think you will have much of a problem once you get over your fear/discomfort of temporary boredom. Just stick with your straight brain....you don't need to alter yourself! It's just a habit you've gotten into.....but certainly nothing neccessary. Might be a good time to reread Lord of the Rings or something
....you need another place to go when you get mentally bored.
You are thinking smart! Follow through and move forward!
Think of the $$ you'll save......
