Welcome back to my channel.
Scott here for another video.
Now, are you regularly bored?
You might be bored right now.
You might have typed into Google and thought, I'm bored.
Who knows?
But, in this video I'm going to tell you how to transform those moments of boredom into
ones of productivity.
Let's do it.
There's nothing worse than sitting around bored out of your brain, staring at
a wall, watching boring TV and checking your Instagram for the fiftieth time today just
to refresh your feed.
By the end of this video, you're going to have eleven tips to stop boredom in its tracks
and flip it into productivity.
That actually really hurt.
Okay, so I'm going to be serious here, if I can try and be.
If you master it, you may actually do away with that boredom all together forever.
Okay, first one, go session, boom.
Plan out your week, plan out your month, plan out your year.
Do a deep dive into what you actually want in life and then map out the steps, map out
the actions that are going to move you closer to that.
Now, really take the time to uncover the ideal you and what you want to do.
You see, goals can create challenges.
They can create actions for you.
What does that do?
That can spark motivation, that can give you this newfound drive.
This will also keep you focused to create many follow-on tasks or micro tasks for you
to actually achieve those goals.
Number two is to clean.
If you have trouble started with this type of task, why don't you try tricking yourself
and just say, "Hey, Scott, I'm just going to do two minutes worth."
"Is that all you're going to do, really?
Okay, sure, I'll get up and do it," but usually what you find happens is, once you get started,
you just bang it out and you end up cleaning up the whole bloody house.
You could do your garage, your wardrobe, your kitchen, your bedroom, do a spring clean.
Number three, number three, number three is exercise.
Whether it's going to go for a run, whether you're going to go for a workout at the gym,
whether you're going to go for a little stroll in the park.
Whichever one it's going to be, it's a great way to use your time when you are bored and,
obviously, it's really good for your health and great for mood altering, keeping you positive,
and your mental health.
Number four is to offer a helping hand.
This will fill up time for you and it will provide that value for other people, which
is what I'm all about.
It is said that it can bring more joy and happiness to your life by those warm fuzzy
feelings.
There is a Chinese saying that goes, "If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
Number five is to learn.
Now, this is one of the best ones to fill your time because it is limitless.
You can read a book, you can listen to a podcast that's going to better yourself.
Maybe it creates more enthusiasm, more motivation, more zest in your life.
You can take an online course, learn a new language.
Si si senor. Gracias. Muy bein
Number six, what's it going to be?
What's it going to be?
Number six is set a budget.
That's right folks, you should be looking at eliminating any unnecessary spending.
You can see what's coming up in advance, identify any problems.
You could set yourself up to save for that family holiday.
Yeah, whoo.
There are so many benefits from...
I don't know what that was.
There are so many benefits from budgeting and you probably should be doing this regardless,
whether you're bored or not.
Hey, there's eleven tips.
What are we going to do when we get to the eleventh tip?
I've only got ten digits, ten fingers, well, eight fingers and two thumbs.
I've got ten phalanges.
What a strange word, phalange.
I've got ten phalanges.
Hey, by the way, check out this video at the end, so when you're finished.
It's on bettering yourself and how to better yourself, why that's important, and that you're
being selfish if you're not looking that way.
Check that out at the end.
Let's keep rolling.
Number seven.
Write out a list of tasks that you need to action or need attention and get cracking.
Look for small tasks around the house.
Wash the car, fix the gate, mow the lawn, sew up your Spiderman costume.
I may or may not have a Spiderman costume.
May or may not.
You'll never know, unless I wear it on camera one time.
That'd be cool.
Just get a big list going and start knocking them off one by one.
You might actually want to keep a list on the fridge, an ongoing list, so when you do
get bored next time, straight to the fridge, put a line through one, job done.
Number eight is to practice your hobby or your interest.
Do you play basketball?
Well, practice your jump shot, something that I definitely need to do.
It's shocking, believe me.
Is music of interest to you?
Okay, well, learn a new song.
Whatever it is, take the time to practice.
This is an enjoyable time for you.
This is something that you're going be feeling great about because you're improving your
skillset, you're improving your craft, you're improving and honing your skills.
Number nine is to organize your phone.
If you're anything like me, you have apps and crap everywhere, so take the time, pull
out your phone, get rid of unwanted apps, get rid of videos.
Don't need that, don't need that, don't need that.
Just get rid of them or you can install apps that are going to be useful for you.
Clean your phone up.
Number ten.
If you're at work, clean your desk space and your PC.
You can sort out your files, you can clean your desk and around your desk.
You can create new folders for your inbox.
You can organize your desktop.
Number eleven is to work on yourself.
For those that know me, you know that this is what I'm all about.
I'm never bored these days because I'm so driven by my mission to level up my life.
Meditate, journal, identify poor habits and then map out a plan to overcome those.
These are all hugely beneficial and productive things that I believe everybody should be
doing.
Now you have eleven productive things that you can do when you are bored.
