Tedious

Something that is tedious is very boring and takes a long time because it involves doing the same task repeatedly, like working on a long math assignment that feels never-ending.

Examples

• Studying for the math test felt tedious as I had to solve the same types of problems over and over again, but I knew it was important to practice in order to do well.
• While the documentary about ancient civilizations was fascinating, some parts were so tedious that I found myself daydreaming instead of paying attention to the rich details.
• My little brother thinks organizing his toy collection is tedious, but I find it satisfying to see everything neatly arranged, making it easier to find his favorite action figures.
