How to keep your home and/or workspace reasonably organized on a day-to-day basis. I struggle with this so very badly, especially when I'm compressed for time such as heavy work load at school/work/life. Thanks in advance if you tackle this issue. It seems easy on the surface... "Just do a little each day". But my gosh it's easy to become completely out of control. Then eventually I do a clean sweep and get everything manageable again, just to watch it slowly slip back into chaos.

@@VictoryAviation I totally understand the struggle with this one. It's one of my greatest weaknesses. Unfortunately, whenever I share my solution, I get a lot of flack, but here it is: I hire somebody to keep my home clean and organized. I know this isn't super viable for a lot of people, but it's far less expensive than most people realize. And well worth the expense.

@@AnthonyVicino It’s not a bad solution at all honestly. I’m transitioning careers however. In the process of doing so and in order to save money, I rent a single room in a house. I cannot seem to even keep that single bedroom organized. It’s not dirty in the sense of pop cans and dirty laundry. It’s just highly unorganized chaos… which leads to anxiety and unproductively.

Unintentionally distracting myself. As a freelancer, I make my own schedule but for some reason, my mind keeps finding ways to do anything BUT what I NEED to do. I enjoy my work and want to do it but for some reason my mind autopilots to find justifications to do other things such as housechores, reading, etc. things that can still be considered "productive" but are not my actual "work." I've started my transition away from social media which has helped already but I still don't make myself work on what I need to. I guess accountability is another important/related topic to what I've described

Notes: Working as much as possible isn't the solution to more productivity/creativity. "Boredom serves as a motivational factor to actually go do stuff" -Boredom drives us to experiment with new and novel phenomena. -Boredom induces more introspection and time spent thinking about the future (daydreaming). Ways to increase productivity through increasing boredom: 1. Turn your phone to grayscale (I hear this over and over and hate the idea, but it must be important). 2. Turn off all notifications. 3. Only use your phone in pursuit of your goals. 4. Have a separate phone used only for social media. 5. Simplify your phone's home screen. Three ways to make space for boredom. 1. Do not listen to music, audio books, or podcasts while driving or walking. 2. Take boring breaks (don't go to your phone during breaks). 3. Increase your capacity for boredom (meditation). DON'T SKIP WATCHING THE VIDEO! There's a ton of great information in it. This exercise was a way for me to re-watch the video with intention and remember the main points. Hopefully it helps someone else out.

I find that i put myself in boring situations semi often just because i find it very relaxing, i don't feel unproductive. I feel that it is necessary to stay connected to the world and being bored is an essential part of that. Thank you for the great videos, i always find them very insightful. My favorite part was the quote "Consumption is always easier than creation. But you can't consume your way to fulfillment, it can only ever be created". Definitely going to think on that concept now.

I've been struggling with focus for a long time and I've been doing the last 3 things you mentioned in the video But the Grayscale point was the icing on the cake. I literally just switched on my phone to write this here because I watched this video about 15 hours ago. And I've seen practically and 80% increase in focus (not kidding) Me putting the phone on Grayscale then going to sleep and waking up in the morning, only to feel like I had "no appetite" for my phone anymore. It works! Thank you for this Anthony. May God bless you.

In my youth my parents were pretty strict. I had to always be home before dark. Which wasn’t a big deal until I got in my teens. I chose to not break my parents rules, so most of my nights were filled with “boredom”. I learned to entertain myself and was really comfortable in my own my mind. The feeling of “boredom” was something I didn’t appreciate and actually loathed. Fast forward to leaving the nest and going to college. “Boredom” was something I constantly tried to run away from. I didn’t study because I felt bored. I didn’t workout because I felt bored. I didn’t go to bed early because hey I could go hang out with friends and not be bored in bed. During this time I felt less comfortable in my own head, my thoughts went from having this positive outlook to a more negative one. I was constantly chasing “fun”. After graduation and starting my career the feeling of “boredom” returned something I tried so hard to run away from. I became even less active and began gaining excessive weight. What’ more fun then binging a show after work, binging watching and binge eating. I realized I was entering a slippery slope and started my weightloss journey. I began going to the gym after work and cooking Healthy meals when I returned home. By the time I ate dinner and showered it would be around 9:30Pm - 10Pm. I began to see rules and loss 40-50lb. I felt great but uneasy it was the most “bored” I ever felt in my life. So I returned back to my old habits of chasing “ fun”. I’m currently watching this video weighing the most I ever have 260lb at 5”10. What this video has my me realize is “boredom” is not a feeling I should be running away from but running towards. My battle is not laziness, overeating, or overthinking. It’s returning back to that child who enjoyed that feeling of “bored”. Thank you for this video!

This is something I just so happened to realize very recently in my life. I got a new job a couple months ago, and there isn't much stimulation. It's a boring desk job that's only really busy for a few hours, and then the rest of the day is basically everyone trying to look "busy" by staring at the work page but not doing any work, lol. Being in this environment with little to no stimulation has recently opened part of myself that I honestly forgot was there. I started sketching on sticky notes to kill time, writing fresh ideas down, and also getting a lot of time for introspection. I'm sure a lot of people have been in this exact scenario, but for me it was interesting becuase I never through I'd be someone to do these small things when bored. I've always been filled with external stimulation in one way or another during my life. Great video and amazing topic for discussion!

Great video, I totally buy into that boredom is an ability we need to reestablish in our lives. Not only to become more productive, but just to get overall life satisfaction. If we are constantly on a maximum stimuli road, it becomes our new benchmark for how life should feel. And life can never live up to this stimuli - it's all an illusion - and it can never become fulfilling. If we accept moment, hours, days, which are 'boring', and stay in that boredom, 'smaller' things become satisfying for us. A walk can be a tremendously stimulating experience - no music, podcast, audiobook is needed.

When I was out of job last year, my daily routines just consisted of me sitting and daydreaming about things I wanted. Time passed by, and my mind started to wander out to other topics, such as “why do I want those things”, and so on. I didn’t expect that the continuous process of such a “silly” routine would lead me into discovering a very important philosophy all on my own, a philosophy which I would later find out to be called “stoicism”. I didn’t even know about stoicism before I eventually stumbled on a video on KZitem talking about it, and I was like: “Huh… this sounds a lot like what I was thinking when I was daydreaming.”

Anthony, what you've described as "meditation" is actually much closer to the real meditation than the "clear your mind thing" that people that doesn't understand meditation is spreading out there. If you sit while being aware of the stuff of boredom that come and go, that's as meditation (whithout quotes) as it can be. A great teacher that you can find on KZitem is Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. He teaches the real meaning of meditation.

I spent a period of a few months at the beginning of 2022 doing this full time. I would sit on the floor and do nothing or "meditate" as you aptly described. Was one of the most transformational experiences of my life. I did later get sucked back into the hell of trading and 16+ hours per day on the computer, where I still am 16 months later, but that's besides the point. My framing during my "do nothing on the floor" period was that neutrality is divine. Virtually all the systems of our body crave homeostasis/equilibrium, as do all systems of the universe. Stimulation by electronics seems to be the bane of modern existence; the real reason for all the depression in the younger generations (has nothing to do with "comparing ourselves on social media" lol). I have also struggled with executive dysfunction my whole life. I often wish I could write instructions into my brain and hit execute. My hope is that AI and other tech will enable us to achieve something like this in the near future, let's say 5 years. As with any other tech, it will require intential use or else the tech will use us. Thank you for spreading this message. It is incredibly incredibly important and perhaps the most undervalued idea of our time. Cheers!

One thing I've noticed in myself and explained to co-workers or in interviews is "I will always find things to do" and what that translates to is that if I'm extremely busy, I will be doing that mass quantity of work. If I am less busy (more bored), I will instead find creative and worthwhile tasks/projects to complete independently. As my career has progressed, I've held some positions where I was constantly under pressure to complete mass quantities of work, working at 110% all the time - and I have held other positions where the workload felt lower. In the positions where the workload was lower, I would begin to accomplish meaningful and impactful tasks that 'hadn't been done in years' (even though they should have been) or 'had never been done' (even though they should have been) and my work was more appreciated even though seemingly I wasn't as busy and wasn't working as hard from an outside perspective. In contrast, the positions where I was constantly giving 110% effort just to get by, there were tons of things that should have been improved, fixed, streamlined, that never got done. I would have potentially been criticised for not being more impactful than I was - even though I was working my guts out and clearly I would have been more impactful had I been less worked (more 'bored') because I've shown that to be true in my other positions. You see this in a workplace when 'the boss' seemingly isn't very busy, works less hours, but time and time again has some great idea that they get praised for. They're the CFO/CEO/whatever because they repeatedly get these impactful ideas and get these impactful things done - while the employees tasked with getting through mass workloads might actually be smarter and more capable but seemingly aren't as creative, never produce anything impactful other than getting their tasks done, and never impress anyone or get promoted. One component to traditional 'hustle culture' is that theoretically if you get enough done quickly enough by hustling and working your guts out, you eventually get to the point where you're 'bored' and then get some of the meaningful and impactful work done that maybe snowballs in a positive way, such as maybe creating a way of automating a part of the 120% work week so that it is now a 110% work week, allowing you additional 'bored' time where you get even more impactful work done, fixing problems so now that it's a 90% work week. Eventually you may not have to hustle any longer, but you're getting more done than ever and what you're getting done is more impactful - but you only got there by hustling at the beginning. I do not believe that this holds true for all people, as some people will simply fill boredom with nothingness. It has to be the right person. As a manager I have at times purposely provided employees with less work than would be required to fill their day and then observed what they accomplish or work on. Some will do the tasks given and then basically sit there on social media doing personal things. Others will suddenly turn up with something new, impressive, or improved. So it only works for some people.

Currently reading the book Atomic Habits. What is crazy is that I just read the chapter about how doing the boring same things that actually moves you forward towards your goals. Is the hardest thing that most people never figure out how to master. Simply put your archaic brain does not work for you in this new dopamine world. Therefor we would rather chase after the next shiny object that stimulates us. Than do the work that will make the difference in our lives in the long run because it's boring!?

I do completely agree boredom is very important because it sparks creativity 100% and we are devoid of creativity because the constant stimulation in todays environment prevent us from being bored and hence creativity. I however dont think that this nullifies hardwork as a necessary component of making it. Because even creativity essentially yields ideas that require a substantial amount of hardwork and discipline to achieve otherwise they stay just that ideas. Therefore I'd think this reality doesnt nullify the solidity of these other already established principals of growth

This video is excellent. 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for your time and hard work in producing it! The information is very true from my experience; I’m very glad that someone finally talked about it. I have found that driving or walking in silence can provide very creative answers to problems, it can help me solidify an opinion or belief, or help me work through a concept that I don’t fully understand yet. I guess when there’s nothing coming in, it makes it easier for things to come out! I do have a question though. You had mentioned how this technique has helped you get more work done and accomplish more meaningful stuff, but never mentioned a real life example. You obviously have this KZitem channel, but do you have other projects or businesses that are gaining an advantage from this technique of intentional boredom? Are there any specific examples that you would be willing to share?
