Success Starts with Boredom

- When was the last time you were bored? I hear you saying, "Right now, watching this video!" Alright, I'll spice things up for you, or at least make you feel less bad about being bored. In fact, I’ll make you wanna get bored all the time.
When you hear the word "boredom," maybe you're instantly transported back to all those endless lectures in school where your buddy leaned over and whispered, "If I stare at these equations any longer, I'm gonna start seeing them in my dreams." And if you can't relate to this, well, homie, you might just be the boredom itself!
Boredom isn't just sitting in a dusty old room with nothing to do. It's that feeling when you're looking at your to-do list, and nothing feels worth doing. Sure, you could be reading the back of a cereal box, figuring out how you're going to change your life, or planning how many books you're going to read every week. But let's be honest, these are just ways to escape the boredom-you're not really that into food labels or suddenly becoming super disciplined. It's all about finding something-anything-to keep the boredom away. Seriously, if I followed every 'life-changing' plan I made while bored, I’d probably be an astronaut-florist-novelist by now.
These days, with our smartphones glued to our hands, evading boredom seems like a piece of cake. You could be waiting in a ridiculously long line for coffee, stuck at a very slow traffic light, or sitting on a park bench, and the escape is right there in your pocket. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, UA-cam-you name it, these platforms are the modern-day boredom busters. Before you know it, you're deep in the rabbit hole of someone's vacation photos or a thread about which superhero would make the best roommate.
Who knows, maybe you're even watching this video because you're bored. Or, let's be real, you might just be taking a dump and scrolling for some quality bathroom entertainment!
Researchers at the University of Virginia conducted funny experiment where they asked participants to sit alone in a bare room for a duration of 6 to 15 minutes. The participants had no access to any distractions such as phones, books, or even pens. The only object in the room was a button that, when pressed, delivered a mild electric shock.
Before the experiment, participants were given a sample shock so they would know what to expect. They were then instructed to try and entertain themselves with their thoughts during the quiet time. However, they were also informed that they could press the button to receive a shock if they chose to.
Despite knowing that the shock would be unpleasant, a significant number of participants opted to press the button rather than sit quietly.
67% of men chose to press the button at least once during the quiet period, while only 25% of women pressed the button. And there we have it-yet another reason why women live longer than men!
It's almost as if men thought, "Hmm, a few minutes of quiet reflection? Nah, let's spice things up with a jolt of electricity!" Meanwhile, women seemed to think, "I've had worse. I'll just sit here and think about dinner."
But here's the twist: although boredom is one of the most hated feelings out there, it turns out to be very helpful and even necessary for success in many cases. I know this sounds like one of those studies that says eating pizza every day will help you live longer, but bear with me.
Research suggests we're missing out on many benefits by trying to get ourselves out of boredom. When we're bored, our minds wander, which is a natural state where attention isn't focused on anything specific. This mind wandering has been shown to be beneficial for creativity.
My man need the 1M subs asp and deserve it
Why do you care about another man's views and clicks? That is very beta behaviour.
Why are all these gems made by small creators?
because big ones tell comfy lies to keep the follower base big and in good mood, building a good life is hard and boring at first which not everyone is willing to do nor hear
Theyre AI
Only for now. I feel they’ll grow soon
because it doesn't matter whether you're big or small, thinking is a common human ability. and popularity is just marketing
It ends in boredom too. Going to the office everyday for a 100k salary sure gets old fast
Is that what success is?
So it's better to scroll on tiktok?
@@HendrikLodewijk no but they sure can feel the same.
@@devanmauch7843wrong Profession then. You can earn 6 figures doing something meaningful. Just gotta find it
U probably never seen a workaholic
im not exacly bored, I just spend so much time working that when I come home, Im too tired to do anything, but I also dont want to just live for work
I remember
when I was kid I used to feel surroundings. Like a bucket was full of water. The drop was falling from the tap after equal interval of time. The drop would generate waves in the bucket. Waves will hit the border of bucket and come back to the center.
Right after coming in center a new drop will fell. It was so perfect that I was like wow!
Also thought of others things like if we write down the sound in form of numbers on paper with some mechanism. Will we be able to generate same sound using those numbers? And that is how computer store audio.
i haven't been truly bored in almost a decade. sometimes im told to do something without being occupied, and i am ok with it. i like to do nothing but think for hours. that's how a lot of work is done.
~6:00 I wonder if that's why I like grinding in RPGs that have an auto-battle feature. I walk around in circles, select auto-battle, and watch the artwork play out. After a few battles, when I know I'm safe to auto-battle, I just... think. And I can do that for a full hour. I love that shit.
Fascinating insights on the creative potential of boredom! Embracing moments of stillness not only fuels innovation but also enhances our capacity to engage deeply with the world around us. 🧠
The problem is when you start to overthink instead of having important and creative thoughts
For some reason when it comes to creativity, boredom somewhat gives me motivation but it gives me 0 inspiration leading me to being burnt out most of the time.
I don't know if it's only me but i have to find the balance between inspiration and motivation but the problem is inspiration comes from doing fun and relaxing activities and motivation comes from boredom and the fear of not ending up successful.
I should probably find better ways to find motivation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I make music btw, so the way i feel plays a huge part in the quality of the music, If i feel bored chances are the song im making is gonna feel very bland. I'm curious if other music artists feel the same way or its just me

voice over ai ?
If you say so
Newton came up with gravity when he was sent home from Cambridge University because of the great plague of 1666, so yes, he was very bored.
bro ur videos are amazing but please put some music in the background, silent = da bad man
Noted!
@@JustFacts-qf6ev 😀good luck on your journey
W vid
Saying women must be thinking about dinner, and the really inaccurate suggestions on Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity were distracting
The section about the geniuses of history being utterly distracted by poor social media choices was a bit gratuitous and long-winded as well
Other than that nice work!
Not serious-just my thoughts after watching
can you make video on how to fix narcissism, 500 sub done
Noted!
@@JustFacts-qf6ev thanks bro
