Pushing Boredom off the Table.
Boring days are always the worst days to face. I don't enjoy being bored in anything I do and I'm quite lucky on that front because most of the things I do each day don't even give me the luxury of being bored. However, there are still moments when a minute feels like 10 minutes and 5 minutes feel like 50.
Those are moments I look at my time and beg it to fly, but it crawls instead. I don't enjoy that feeling and I especially don't enjoy it when I'm getting that bored by something someone is saying in a conversation, seminar or something of that nature. It makes me feel like spending an extra minute in that place would melt my brain.
I've learned that being in a place that makes me bored isn't good for me and I've had to turn my back on places like that. The same thing goes for getting involved with activities I find boring. Once I notice that about any event, I usually bid farewell to it and channel my energy to other stuff.
How I deal with Boredom.
I Take Up Challenging Tasks: When I'm bored and it turns out that the boredom is due to a work routine which I've maintained for a while, I try to get out of that boredom by taking up a different sort of challenge. I try a work that I'm not very accustomed to. Something that will force me to think while on my feet. Workout also does its magic and I burn myself out with that when I'm bored.
I Clean Up: This works well for me. If I'm bored when I'm indoors, I casually look around to see if there is any cleaning I can do. Things like general house cleaning, washing of my bedsheet and pillow case, washing of my towel, cleaning of my window... Those kinda stuff. When I sweat it out doing those things, I go take a cold bath, drink LD water afterwards and I will be back to OK.
I Get Myself Entertained: The list of things I do to keep myself entertained is nos not. However, the few I do always get the job done in ways that are beyond mere entertainment. I'm big on TV shows especially those that are made in Korea. I also keep myself entertained with football.
I said before that I don't usually get bored and I make no bones about that. I've taken a lot of time to learn about myself and from what I know, the things I do each day have no chance of getting me bored. I have a very concise goal that I'm pursuing with each breath I take and I also have a few interesting hobbies that keep me going. These things beg for a piece of me each day.
I haven't been bored for a while.

When I'm bored I simply read. It also helps that I have lots of ebooks on my device which I haven't opened yet, so the thrill of reading something new is always there with me everywhere I go.
That's interesting. Reading surely helps and many people can attest to that.
Sometimes it feels difficult to defeat boredom but I think with this style of yours there's no room for boredom.
Yeah. It's really a very effective approach to getting rid of boredom.
Quite simple but effective methods of chasing boredom. I am already thinking of adopting the clean up method too, you have been keeping all these updates to yourself all these while 😂 lol.
Thanks for sharing this with us boss
Haha... Brother. It's not easy oOoOO. We must chase boredom out of sight.
By all means sir🤣 happy Sunday
Movies work for me. That way, before I get over with one film, an hour has gone by.
That's good to know. Whatever works is always acceptable.
Challenges ? Definitely not me haha. A no no.
Cleaning can help too. Korean movies? Wow.
This are definitely ways to get over boredoom.
I enjoy reading.

Haha... Yes oooo. Those are the things I explore and they have proven to be quite effective. Haha.
I'm onboard the Kdrama ship. Haha.
Same here I can be super productive when I am bored!
Always a #dreemerforlife
Haha... That's it oooo. I usually feel this sudden rush of adrenaline. I get quite energetic when I'm doing home chores or working out at those moment.
These are interesting ways to keep yourself out of boredom especially finding yourself some challenging tasks just to keep you busy. Boredom happens and it's our role to find coping mechanisms to deal with it in order for it not to snatch away our happy times.
I popped in through #dreemport
Yeah. Boredom comes even when we don't ask for it. When it happens, it will always be our responsibility to step up and find ways to cope even during moments of boredom.
Looks like you're really productive during these times. I think I just sleep mostly but this is also good too. Well-done dear Coach Kene.🤗
That seems to be the case. I've noticed that I can channel my boredom towards performing hectic activities. It works most of the time. Haha
