You got hung up on your misuse of language. "Less" and "eternity" cannot go together. "Eternity" is infinite. Everyone is born. Different folks get different amounts of time here on earth, and then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). At that point of judgment, one enters eternity, which is the same for all. It doesn't end. Since it doesn't end, the eternity for Cain (the first murderer) is the same as the eternity for the anti-Christ (yet to appear). The time spent in judgment is exactly the same: forever.
So, God makes clear that no souls "wait" for judgment. It happens upon each person's death. (Purgatory and Limbo are both fictions invented by the Catholic church to accommodate their pagan "converts.")

No one exactly knows 100% what the judgement area will look like. They won't be bored, as some will be nervous, and some excited. Anways, you won't spend less eternal time as they, for eternity means forever and ever. So you will spend time in heaven (or hell, sadly) forevever and ever. There isn't a timer, as when the timer runs out, heaven is gone.

When you die, your soul goes to the realm of departed spirits known as Hades. There you will await judgement. No one is in heaven or hell right but all are in either the good side of hades, which is paradise, or the bad side of Hades, which is Tartarus. All are awaiting judgement and when all is said and done everyone will enter eternity with God or will enter eternity with Satan together. There will only be one judgement day. Hope this helps you.

In Islam, souls are waiting in a place called "Barzakh". First, the Angel of Death takes your soul out of your body (it'll hurt if you were a bad person, it'll be painless if you were a good person).
Then, 2 Angels come and ask you 3 questions: "Who is your God (answer: Allah)? What is your religion (answer: Islam)? Who was the Prophet sent to you (answer: Muhammad)?"
If you answer these corectly (obviously meaning that you're Muslim; non-Muslims will not be able to answer correctly (you can't cheat the system)), you will have a peaceful and enjoyable stay in the grave. If you don't, you will have grave punishment. The stay in the grave does NOT mean that you won't go to Heaven! Some Christians/Jews will answer these questions wrongly yet by Allah's Mercy will be allowed into Heaven.
Don't worry: you won't want to read magazines if you answer these questions right...

I think that they are i neither heaven or hell but something like the eternal waiting room. And in that waiting room time might not exist so they might not get bored

Nope, nope, all wrong.
Hell is separation from God.
Hell is in heaven separated by a gulf.
Hell is not eternal, the second death is.
The second death is the lake of fire.
God is fair and righteous.
Before you were born of the flesh, you were in heaven.
We are all born innocents through the womb unaware of the rebellion.

ok, you are trying to make a big deal out of nothing, God isnt bound by time. and eternity is eternity i mean it isnt ever going to end so who cares who gets there first? in the end you will be fully sastified with your time there. which will last forever and ever.

They are asleep. No one is in Heaven but God Jesus and the Angels. They are awaiting judgement day. Just like you.Remember Lazarus? Awake?
