'too bored' is the definition.
'listless' can be an answer for 'bored' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'too' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for listless that I've seen before include "disorganised on a shopping trip?" , "Showing no enthusiasm, torpid" , "Devoid of energy or concern" , "Tells sis to be lacking in energy" , "Short of energy (and ill-equipped for shopping?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
