I used to be a bookwork wayback school days. I love going and staying at the library. I can finish a whole book in a day. But ever since social media became a thing, I kinda lost my interest in books, and I regret it so much. Now I'm slowing staying away from social media, deleted my Facebook, twitter and Instagram, and it's one of the best decisions I've done in my life.

Tips I found useful in this video: 1. Take a book wherever you go.

Step one. Set video speed to 1.25

I honestly though I was wasting my time a lot more but once I watched this video and realized I do all of these I feel a lot better about where my life is going. Reading is the best part of my day

I stopped with gaming cause I was to addicted to it, when I stopped there was so many free time to spend. With that free time I just tried to read, do some workouts and other things I usually never do. It helped me so much that I am in a very good mood the last three months. Thanks to this video's.

Journal every day, I’ve done so every day since 1989. It’s very cathartic and channels emotions much more effectively.

Journalling. It’s great for expressing what’s on your mind or working through problems but also great to look back on periodically to gain insights about yourself, see the lessons you’ve learned and how you have grown. Wish we all realised just how little time we have in this life. This video is gold.

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.

We could also spend a little free time to make someone's day or life a little better too. (E.g Notes/ Services/ Community work) Time spent giving is seldom wasted time :)

Best point 08:42 learn a new skill. "Don't let school get in the way of education" Mark Twain

working out definitely is a must but also fixing up your room. working out tends to be something i want because i want to look better cleaning takes me years to start but when i start, i love how it feels to move stuff around and be clean

When I'm bored, I always do something of the following things: -Go for a walk -Practice drawing -Play videogames -Write a book/comtinue writing a book (noone's gonna read my books but I still enjoy writing) -Watch anime/netflix -Compose music

I haven't even been bored this quarantine, but I still clicked on the notification as soon as I saw it, just because I love your channel so much.

There's so many positive things we can do to entertain ourselves in times of boredom that will help us become better versions of ourselves. Like this video mentions, setting goals and reading are great ones. I personally love going for walks too. It helps clear the clutter in your mind, reduce anxiety and stress and allows us to get exercise :) - Julia

Best motivation channel I have ever stumbled upon

I'm just too lazy to do this, so I just sleep. It actually helps me and makes me more productive the next busy day.

Reading "Atomic Habits" will change your life

"Most importantly for some of you... clean up your search history..." bro that was the most subtle way to throw shade hahahaha! Loved it.

this channel is worth a ton of gold. I've been slacking off every now and then skipping school by going to the doc saying I'm sick. It's so easy to get an excuse for everything. But I'm at a point where I can clearly see the end of the road if I keep going the way I am. I'm almost 23 and I really need to be more engaged in my life. Hope I can Implement a few changes now and keep changing for the better every day. Thank you.

this is something that I think everyone needs to see. many just spend their time on a device, which can affect mental health. if you think about it, staying on a device all-day full of boredom can actually lead to more boredom and possibly depression, with their life always doing the same, and their life ending up feeling like a loop. this actually gave more ideas then I knew before, so thanks!

He : some tips to make your life better and healthier Me : watching this video at 5am XD

I would add that we should reflect and often think about where we are headed and whether what we do will get us to where we want. What we do, should have purpose. And we need to remind ourselves why we do what we do so we refresh our motivation to make good use of our limited time

This is gem. Thank you for making this video. I will keep watching this every few months.

Love these videos, I appreciate the fact that you create simple yet practical advice on making us better than yesterday. You provide one of the best, life changing self improvement videos.😁👍

In my eyes reading (but like fantasy and thrillers) is the same as watching informative videos, because they both give me a freshend mind and show me how others view problems and the 'others'.

I find that just going for a run or doing some short hard running excersises really cures boredom and makes you feel very good about yourself

Planning setting goals and cleaning your room

I can't actually remember the last time I was bored. Instead I'm too busy feeling the crushing weight of a million things I'm not doing, all of them feeling of primary significance, and none of them seemingly achievable, so I just doomscroll. Just stay on KZfaq and they can't get you. And there's always something to watch on KZfaq. You will protect me. You will keep me safe.

thank God I found your channel via recommendation. when I watch your video first time. I was inspired. I run every morning and it change my mood. it make me happy and better 😊 then I stop using my phone and I do other things like cleaning our house exercising and bonding with my family.

The irony is not lost on me that he is talking about doing something more productive than being on your phone whilst watching this video on your phone...

Watching videos like this that helps me improve myself better is what I always do in my free time.

Just had surgery a week ago - took away my work / exercise routine so now I’m at home bored especially since I can’t bend over or really move my body but this video was a ton of help. Got me back into learning French , being productive in my music , and cleaning some unnecessary storage on my phone. 🙌🏽 definitely recommend to a friend

Indeed, sometimes those “strange” ideas (like reading) are the best 😊. Indeed, overnight success stories take a long time. And the only time we can find success before work is in the dictionary 🖖

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.

Thanks for this value packed short video.

He’s telling us not to be glued to the screen, but we’re sitting like a potato watching this

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.

Time is the most precious thing

I just wanna say your videos have helped me a lot, especially in developing new habits and actually sticking to them! Thank you very much❤

This is a valuable video. Been a fan for awhile now. Great video to push out during quarantine.

missed this channel, happy to see it again

Great tips to beat boredom and thrive during these uncertain times! Thanks for sharing!

New video! Always excited to watch your videos. So much to learn from and it's so motivating. I've used all your insights in life & start my own channel.

Man, I've been so unmotivated to make videos lately... I don't know why, I just couldn't get myself to getup and just do it. Thanks for the video it gives me motivation to get up today.

I feel like something that would help people fill their "spare time" is for them to realize their direction in life. If you have something (or an ideal) you're avidly working towards, it's much easier to stay on track than if you're not interested in anything.

Thanks man your video really helps

Also finding a new hobby could be a good one

I used to think half of these things where just nonsenses, DO THESE THINGS. You think you don't want to, BUT once you start you want to keep it going. This is a great list!

Love how it talked about not being on electronics and then posted it on KZfaq

I am so thankful that people like you exist

Thank you i needed that

About cleaning up the room: I often start with bigger, more massive looking things that are actually 25% of the job. After that, the room feels a lot less messy and I can clean up everything else.

This video will definitely help me deal with the hours that I am at home because of quarantine

Awesome advice man! as always! Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much. Your KZfaq channel has changed my life.😀

The secret to cleaning often, at least for me, is music. Just play your favorite tunes loud on a speaker and you really don't feel the dread because you're enjoying the music.

Hit like button before the video even started, I know it's going to be good

Lovely illustration and a must watch for sure.

thank you for this advices.

Nice. Love the comment on reading. I learned a long time ago “readers are leaders and leaders are readers. “. This life long learning has helped me grow and help others over the years more than I ever thought.

Thanks a lot! Keep making videos about how we can spend our time in quarantine. Also, please make more book recommendations as a lot of books look promising but are not that good when you read them

Thank you for posting!! I really love your channel🍀

I agree with you. I try to do those things when I'm bored but sometimes it's not possible. But after some time it could be manageable.

I love to read!

I read all the time. I love reading. Books are awesome. Imagine living thousands of lives, learning thousands of lessons, without even getting up?!

A BIG THANKS TO YOU MY BROTHER

Thank you so much!

What a great video thank you kind sir :)

I remember as a kid being like, "I'm bored." at my grandmas house. She would be like. "Oh? You are bored. I'll find some work for you."

These are great tips. I do all of them and so much more. I have TONS of hobbies and wonder why people don't seem to have them now-a-days. Learn to draw, play an instrument, write poetry, a book, learn to fly a kite - anything new. I am rarely bored because there is always something that has to be done around the house and I have too many hobbies to engage in. I love this video. I even teach people new hobbies for free. Thanks for this video, bro. Great content.

I love your videos. Thank you very much.

"The more you learn, the more you earn." - Warren Buffett

I’d add up Meditation without a doubt my friend, cold shower works as ice for healing, green smoothies and drink water plus eat healthy, motivational videos also will raise the bar up

Yep, aside from reading, I watched a lot of youtube tutorials to improve my skills and also tried to learn how to play violin, piano, watercolor painting and chess this quarantine. I did a lot and there's so much to learn, so little time. I dont even wanna go back to work anymore lmfao

REALLY GREAT AND TRUTH. KEEP ON MAKING VIDEOS LIKE THESE. THANKS

"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*

1. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT MOMENT. 2. VISUALIZE YOUR NEXT MOVE-AIM. 3. NEVER SETTLE. NEVER COMPLACENT. 4. BELIEVE. 5. NEVER GIVE UP.

Thanks for this video.

GREAT AND BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED 👍

These vids are really helpful and do make me better everyday😁 does listening to them a lot count as an unproductive habit 🤔

These suggestions are like diamonds 💎. In this era where Everyone is unable to use their time well these are golden words.

Actionable advises huge thanks

Thanks so much for this positive valuable advise. It is so important to manage one’s time wisely.

But I use my phone for reading. Just saying.

1. I don't stare over people's shoulders to see what they're doing on their phones or tablets. It's a bit rude. 2. Considering the proliferation of ebook apps and mobile education platforms, I don't automatically assume that anyone looking down at a phone is doing unproductive tasks. Just because it's a screen doesn't mean that it isn't displaying worthwhile information. It doesn't have to be printed on paper to be considered productive. 3. You don't know what that person's day has been like. If they're on social media, perhaps they've rightly prioritized checking up on a physically distant loved one going through a tumultuous time. If they're playing a mobile game, perhaps that's their one moment to step away from a hectic life of constant information overload and heightened stress. I know when this was discussed in the video, it was with the premise of 'to each their own', but the deeper implication still comes across as: "You're in a waiting room. You look around. Everyone else is looking at their phones, indicating their attachment to meaningless time-waster tasks. You look down at your lap. You see a book. You are therefore special and superior." How about this: mind what you do with your spare time, but don't waste your mental energies on what isn't your business. Do what helps you. And should you stop being nosy and judgmental, you will become Better Than Yesterday. P.s., I have been subscribed to this channel for a decent length of time now, and I feel that the quality of the content is generally good. I will remain subscribed for that reason. I simply want to challenge patterns of thought that I find to be generally problematic, at least where such dialogues have the potential for affecting change. By that token, I would not be commenting if I felt that it wasn't worth my time. Edit: Paragraph formatting.

Great work Thank you
