I definitely most agree. I'll let the the Atomic Habits quote: "I can guarantee that if you manage to start a habit and keep sticking to it, there will be days when you feel like quitting. When you start a business, there will be days when you don’t feel like showing up. When you’re at the gym, there will be sets that you don’t feel like finishing. When it’s time to write, there will be days that you don’t feel like typing. But stepping up when it’s annoying or painful or draining to do so, that’s what makes the difference between a professional and an amateur. Professionals stick to the schedule, amateurs let life get in the way. Professionals know what is important to them and work towards it with purpose, amateurs get pulled off course by the urgencies of life."

I figured this out a few years ago- I quit social media entirely. I stopped playing videogames. I canceled my iPhone. My drawing/painting skills soared, and my brother and I produced five music videos... all within a span of only a few months. I can only wonder where I'd have been in life if I hadn't spent so many of my teen years, addicted to videogames.

@@RagTag-N-Bobtail yeah its definitely easy to fall into the trap of doing something "easy" or "relaxing" instead of something "productive" but the issue is sometimes that if we focus on production constantly it gets to us. Obviously people always say to balance it but i think for some people, me included, balance is hard, and sometimes just turns to obsession. there is a price for everything and opportunity cost everywhere, you could say that if you spent your time drawing/painting you would have spent the time wishing you learned to code or something. who know if also it wasnt video games it was something else? something worse for you? The grass is always greener, and you have learned a lesson which is good. You made a choice and stuck with it and that is impressive. do what makes you happy.

It's worth noting that social media can actually be less fun than other, better activities. I often find myself bored out of my mind scrolling Reddit or KZfaq and feel relieved when I go read or work out or whatever because it's more fun and a break from the monotony. Sometimes the thing keeping you scrolling isn't that it's actually more enjoyable, it's just that it holds your attention and doesn't let go. If you only think in terms of "mindless entertainment fun, purposeful growth boring" then you might not notice when a good habit is actually the most enjoyable.

This is exactly my own thinking. When I was younger, my parents barred me from screens and games because they thought boredom was good for me. It was. I wrote hundreds of lists, read thousands of books, and that screen time was a reward for myself when I finished my work. This is ultimately what discipline is built on: boredom and relief.

Shoot, good perception of that phenomenon. I have the same issue and kept wondering "why is the fun stuff getting boring?" It's not that the fun is gone. You're just used to this fun and it became the new boredom. Try giving yourself a break from games for a couple days and you'll feel refreshed when you come back. Cut down on easy stimulation like social medias.

- In a world saturated with endless stimulation from platforms like KZfaq and social media, our brains constantly seek novelty, leading to a perpetual cycle of distraction. - To be productive, it's essential to prioritize less stimulating tasks like studying or exercising over endless distractions. - Embracing boredom can lead to surprising benefits, as seen in the speaker's personal experience of finding fulfillment and progress in previously mundane activities. - Lowering our stimulation baseline by embracing boredom can help us concentrate better and find fulfillment in daily tasks. - Overcoming the addiction to constant stimulation requires actively reshaping our habits and embracing the power of boredom, ultimately leading to greater productivity and fulfillment.

@@mastertraps11 Sure beats using KZfaq for distraction and then feeling guilty and dropping your self worth. Otherwise it's just crippling over thinking. Down the rabbit hole of nihilism and depression. Because we know full well if in that evening state we convince ourselves we will get to it the next day. We most likely won't. I see it as the failure to action has already happened. Hence we get that night time motivation. However I will say I get the daytime drive much more since I cut all social media and "friends". I get to focus on and pursue what I deem worth it. Without others questions/ societal judgement. Chase what drives you folks. Internal validation is everything.

when i was a freshman in high school, my parents got a divorce. My dad was too broke to afford internet, or a phone plan with data. I had an iphone like everyone else, and a gaming computer at my mom’s. But with 50% of my custody spent at my dad’s house, I was forced to live the proper life. No social media. No youtube. No distractions. I continued to spend time outdoors well into my high school years. I learned to solve a rubik’s cube by writing down the steps at my moms and practicing them at my dads. I practiced doing nothing at all just sitting and thinking. I learned to program by bringing a laptop over and writing code. With no internet access, my mind was free. All the little things in life were meaningful and fulfilling. I loved cleaning my bedroom, organizing my clothes by style and color was fulfillingly fun. My upbringing gave me the ability to decide to that I was going to do something boring and do it with 100% concentration. And with days being spent like this, I can do medial tasks for hours, without any distractions. Love my dad for giving me the best childhood i could have, one that protected me from the brain numbing of the internet, while keeping me still in touch with technology at my moms

Conflicting. Does not speak to or for the ADD and sensory seeking crowd, however, there may be still some wisdom to glean. Stimulation is a tool to wield mindfully, and some need it more than others. It is not something to shame yourself or others for, nor demonize it and abstain completely. To exist is to feel, and there are a great many ways of feeling. We are all different and isn't that wonderful and how hasty it would be to blanket all of us to one approach.

For my ADHD, Ritalin was a prerequisite for being able to make use of boredom. The longer I'm on it, the less desire I *naturally* have to fuck around on socials. (I still do it sometimes though, hence my stopping to make this comment.) People who are neurotypical but whose boredom threshold is on the floor from too much overstimulation, or people with ADHD for who medication isn't enough, will have to intentionally train themselves to live this way, though.

Ok i agree with essentially everything here, but one thing that needs to be specified here is the type of video game. Multiplayer/online games are 95% of the time a waste of time/brainrot (unless ur genuinely bonding with a buddy and it isnt daily), but some games are genuinely eye opening and meaningful. For example, the two latest God of War games (the Norse ones) really taught me a lot about what it means to be a dad since my own father neglected me my entire life. I feel like it really taught me a lot, more than my dad ever did. There are many games like this in the modern day. But I also think it's important to have the occasional mindless activity to give your brain a rest. Maybe an hour or two per day max. I think if you spend your whole life on some kind of sigma male grindset, you'll just end up burned out and exhausted. That's what I experienced in early college. I'd come home after several hours of school, study Japanese for a few hours, and then go to bed having never had a chance to unwind at all. I couldn't take it anymore. Nowadays my study habits are much more healthy and more restrained, while still making progress. Get off social media and p*rn as much as possible (100% off over time) and that will already create massive results. Taking it any further is overdoing it imo.

I've noticed that reading, which used to be a tedious task, has become a daily habit since I started doing it whenever I had free time. However, I'm still struggling to find motivation for writing. You gave me an interesting idea to tackle this issue - I will restrict my reading habit to help me become bored again, and then add writing to my routine. By cutting off my old habit and reintegrating it later, I believe I can make writing enjoyable. I think this approach will help me incorporate a new habit into my routine and will be easily applicable in my life.

Its hard a few months but no i absolutely resent video games. Until like one week ago i watched Series when going to bed only. But now im getting rid of that. The thought of being that person that is just happy in solitude, being able to read and meditate, is just so calming.

Actually, I'd say that certain video games are also valuable entertainment that don't overstimulate you. Of course, many, or even most of the big AAA games and repetetive Battle Royales and Shooters are comparable to sources of shallow entertainment like TikTok and such, but games that require you to actually think and and focus on them to actually make progress in them, or slow games that just let you relax are really rewarding and, at least in my case, caused me to be more productive afterwards. My go-to games that don't overstimulate or distract me are Celeste and Minecraft most of the time, because Celeste, especially when it comes to the B and C-Side levels, is extremely difficult which forces you to put effort into it to progress, and once you do it feels extremely rewarding. With Minecraft, my approach is to take it slow instead of rushing the game, and just trying to build a good looking house or something similar, which at the end is also really rewarding, because you managed to make something of your own that you like. Having those small hits of dopamine that you put effort in to get causes, at least in my experience, a kinda chain reaction that makes you to want to do more things that take time and effort, because your brain has experienced what it feels like to succeed at something hard or slightly slow/broing and is ready to do the same with something even less fun. Also, playing a few games here and there feeds your creativity, which helps with getting ideas to get things done and with your productivity as a whole.

Yeah it's always been the hardest thing to balance. Video games are the equivalent of art to me. The stories, music, worlds, and characters are better than in any other media form and at the end of the day it's a lot of fun. I'm still working on finding a balance, though. It needs to be a reward, not the first thing I jump towards when I'm bored or don't wanna do the boring stuff that aligns with my goals.

One of the things that helped my mental health improve was working at a place with a strict no cellphone policy. My screen time has gone down even on the days I don’t work and I’m fine just sitting and being bored for a couple hours. It’s greatly helped my patience with everyday things too. I used to be on my phone whenever I was waiting for a bus or train but now using my phone to pass the time just feels like an option rather than an impulse. And sometimes I choose to leave my phone in my pocket now. It’s saved me a lot of battery power too!

I agree with this video half and half. I think a good middle ground between being overly "productive" to the point of seeming robotic and uninteresting is to instead set out to consume with intention. Nothing is inherently bad. It's the reason we choose to interact with something that indicates if it becomes unhealthy or not.

Someone who has some realizations that made me make the decision a year and a half ago to delete all social media, start meditating, start caring about my health, and more recently stop video games. Changing how you respond to boredom works. I love reading psychology, philosophy, and anything educating, I'm fine with work (though being a wage slave will forever suck), and I love myself and being by myself. But it's not that simple, I have found myself detached from others. Others talk about this trend, that trend, these videos, those videos, etc. because everyone is so addicted to dopamine hits that these give them that I can't even communicate with them anymore unless it's a deep conversation. Deep conversations are more rare than they should be because it takes trust, this forces your circle to be small. On top of the social things you now have to resort to news sources if you wish to stay up to date with the world. Bias news is everywhere. I recommend 3 sources, Al Jazeera, Reuters, and AP News. Fact check everything you read even though these are relatively unbiased. For those of you who go down this path, you will be more alone but not lonely, be prepared. Anyone who sees this with any questions, I am an open book about anything.

THIS. Plus, letting go of the expectations to enjoy certain types of books. Once I realized it was okay not to read fiction, or not even to read wordy nonfiction, I started enjoying it. And allowing myself the time to have that boredom (leaving my work session early before the next meeting so I can sit outside) led me to pick up whatever book I had on me, which happened to be a wildlife field guide.

figured this out myself about a year ago. I have ADHD and wanted to adjust my baseline dopamine levels. I cut out video games, deleted all social media, and I avoid "shorts" on any video platform. I try not to multitask my leisure activities, and I don't do anything with infinite scrolling or algo traps (I use newpipe for YT so no algo feed). Now I'm at the level where writing music is the most fun thing I do, and I ended up writing more music in 9 months than I had in my entire life up to that point. Crazy what happens when we start saying "no" to the attention industry.
