Nowadays everyone is constantly busy with something. But being busy doesn't mean we're using our time efficiently.
It's sad to say this, but most people completely waste their time.
And time is our most valuable resource. We can't make more of it, like we can make more money for example.
So it's wise to use our time in a way that will benefit us.
When we're bored, what do we usually do?
Most of us up end being glued to a phone, TV or a computer screen.
That might ease our boredom in the moment, and we might not even consider that time to be wasted.
But there's an opportunity cost.
That time could've been spent on a different, more valuable activity.
Specifically on something that could actually benefit us greatly in the future.
This is why in this video I'll go over 5 things that will help ease your boredom, and teach you to use your free time more productively.

    To play devil's advocate; I have wasted countless hours and days in my life just by thinking out of compulsion, completely wasting my time I could have spent having fun, playing a musical instrument or learning something new instead looping the same fucking thoughts a million times over and over. In fact, it pisses me off how much time I've wasted just fucking thinking and not learning anything because sitting down and fucking thinking is a complete waste of time 9 out of 10 times.

But ever since social media became a thing, I kinda lost my interest in books, and I regret it so much.

    I am on summer vacation right now. I haven’t been on my phone much but when I am I have mainly been reading articles on things that interest me. However, the more I read and the deeper into the rabbit hole of ideas I go, the more I worry that I had never had my own original opinions. It’s not all political, but a lot of the articles that I’ve been reading have been helping me realize the error in my beliefs. I also read fiction and very much enjoy my adrenaline inducing books. And overall? The more I read the happier I am. But I have very much strayed from who I was prior.

    First one is very true, as a kid I hated reading since I have been forced to do it, I didn't enjoy it. As a teenager, I discovered comics, manga, with their texts to read to understand their story, those are my first "enjoyed" books. After reading a lot of them, I craved more to read, then I got to light novels, then finally non-fiction books. Really, they should introduce books better---not just as, "reading is helpful for you, so read this." Not as how they see it already but for youth, make it look a fun activity and tempting so it will last and they'll do it on their own.

    Some times being bored is a good thing, just sit in silence and think for once. This can really help with self awareness. Or you could try sitting in silence and not thinking at all, just clear your mind and meditate. I find that this really helps me rewind and reload.

It gives u the feeling of having a friend, calms ur mind (really great to read at night), the wonderful smell of new pages, u can keep a book u liked for years and afterwards take it off the shelf and relish good memories, just looking at all the books stacked in ur shelf gives such a warm feeling...I could just keep on talking more :))

    "In the world, you always build upon what you have learned in the past, adding new things as you go along. As you advance, you become more selective in what you learn because you want to validate what you have learned already. Thus, the intent of education, which is to learn something new, to experience something new and to be able to do something new, becomes lost because increasingly you will attempt to validate the past. Here you will become more fearful and anxious about the future, less willing to see things as they really are and less open to new ideas, new experiences and new capabilities. Here the mind closes down upon itself. It often does this with the belief that it is open and accessible when in fact it has become such a filtering mechanism that very little new information can come to it, either from within or from without." A quote from a book titled Greater Community Spirituality. To read the whole book for free, among many others, visit *NewMessage org*
