Boredom !
Today I would like to talk to you about boredom.
Because basically, in our modern society, we've engineered boredom out of our lives.
We're not bored anymore.
People spend an average of 13+ hours on their device or screens every day. And 100 years ago, this was zero hours. So that's very new. If you are not bored, if you don't spend time thinking by yourself like you're basically just repeating the ideas of others than they have put inside you through their screens.
Boredom is good.
It’s good :
For having good ideas
For having less stress.
To go inwards.
You know, Steve Jobs said that boredom was a tool that he leveraged to create the products that he did. And we know some of this products, right?
So please try to engineer boredom back into your life. So :
Don't go on your phone for a little moment, like on purpose.
Don't listen to that podcast or music or whatever when you're walking or running.
Spend maybe 5 minutes per day just sitting on your couch doing absolutely nothing.
Thank you.
