Boredom

Ever wonder why some people achieve greatness while others don't? The answer might surprise you - and bore you.

Boring is good.

Boring is right.

Boring is … interesting.

In our modern world, we've fallen into a "cult of busyness." We wear packed schedules like badges of honor, thinking constant activity equals productivity. This obsession with busyness is a problem. It leaves no room for valuable boredom and often leads to burnout. We fill every moment with stimulation, fearing stillness and viewing unstructured time as wasted time.

Ironically, this devotion to busyness often makes us less productive, not more. We mistake motion for progress, activity for achievement. In contrast, strategic boredom - those periods of deliberate stillness and repetitive tasks - can lead to greater creativity and productivity in the long run.

Exciting and fun things, with enough repetition, become boring. But boredom doesn't mean something doesn't work. Often, it's a signal that these are things we need to do more.

Think about it:

Eating healthy is boring.

Exercising is usually boring.

Homework is boring.

Working is ofte…
