Boredom is one of the most unpleasant feelings. Anything that banishes boredom is desirable and I'm sure you're glad you don't have time to be bored.
There is a "dolce far niente" that we sometimes want, but this is something, very necessary for our health.
Our best friend is a piano teacher. She didn't play classical music after graduating from the conservatory because she fell in love with a fellow rocker, they made rock bands in which she played keyboards for about twenty years. Now, in her sixties, she gives piano lessons.
I've seen her on several occasions reading a score for the first time and found it quite difficult. So I understand what it was like when you had to play after only ten minutes of practice!
