Someone said once that starting with the TV generation we forgot how to be bored, and now with social media we’ve forgotten how to be alone.

I really love this.I love the tip given that when you are stressed out and you don't what to do when going through a challenge, you just take some out just to do nothing and stay bored.A great idea may just come out of that boredom.

That's why sometimes I love to be alone, not using my phone, computers, TV and video games. Not even music. I just love to give some space for my thoughts to be heard out loud.

The meta level of irony while watching this is mindblowing.

Watching this for a class. I agree with boredom giving rise to creative solutions and it can allow you to be present.

Im trying not to be too bored at home: im going to the local Tavern once a week, I might go to church again (im a non-believer), and im taking the dogs for short walks more. I think having a routine to look forward to helps fight being bored, especially in middle age.

The mind works best when there are no conflicting thoughts. Wandering thoughts are a hindrance to creativity.That's why meditation which calms and quietens the mind is so effective.

The cure for boredom is to embrace it.

i agree with adding subtitles. i have impaired hearing and the soundtrack sounds very muffled and garbled to me. subtitles would be a great help...

were you able to watch this whole video and focus for 1:17, or were you bored? ;)

The everyday routine generally means you are working. The body likes repetition. You are not necessarily bored, you are settled.

One of the main reasons people become prone to boredom is that they haven't learned to manage it. So paradoxically, the more you allow it, the sooner you figure out how to manage it.

There are a thousand of videos saying this but these videos do not say how to enter the state of boredom so that we build up a habit of getting into the state of boredom regularly for our mind to get the time it needs in order to reset itself and sower our brain with loads of creative ideas. Can you make a video regarding the method of getting into the state of boredom through a repetitive task? Which repetitive task is the most effective one?

I feel boredom hurts me, I always need to do something.

My mind doesn't wonder. I end up staring at the ceiling until I halucinate, seeing patterns move around, end up seeing pictures. Works better with carpet though. I'll see a woman looking into a mirror or a masquerade.
