I'm guessing that "existential ennui" means being bored with life in general as opposed to bored with the moment at hand. Is that the idea? (It was not so easy to determine from a quick Google.)
And you make a great point. Whether it be prayer, meditation, time at a park, or just a few moments of stillness, I think it's important to have that quiet time. Even those who are religious seem to find too many ways to distract themselves, and very few minutes for spending time with God.
Our culture doesn't value quiet time much, and one can easily pass through life day by day without finding any. In fact, some people find it impossible to be with themselves anymore, but need people or tv or radio around to be content, even if it's just background noise. When that happens, I think it is a flashing sign to each of us that some quiet downtime is really needed.
