Who is Bored and Why?
People that say they are bored upset me. As an entrepreneur, there is always something for me to be doing. I can write an article, go make a review, update my resume. The list goes on and on. How can someone be motivated and bored at the same time? I can’t sleep at night because I’m thinking about what needs to be done now, tomorrow, and still needs to be completed today.
Here are some tips I use so your never bored again!
Use A Physical Note Pad
I walk around with a notepad and pen at ALL times these days. I used to use my phone, but it was never so user-friendly. Open the app, which app again? Oh yeah, this one. Open up a new idea page. Where is that button again? Right, there it is. Ok, now I’m ready to write down my idea I just had. What was it again? How can you expect to complete something later if you don’t remember what it is? My long-term notes and goals end up on a notepad on Google Drive in subfolders that I can look at anytime.
Learn Something on YouTube
This has been great for me. Go look something up on youtube. There are plenty of knowledgeable people on there willing to tell you what they know so you can learn something and follow in their footsteps. YouTube is not only for funny videos, but can be very informative and educational also.
Improve Your Health
Go for a walk. Successful people are healthy people in mind, body, and spirit. It takes just a little time to improve your overall health. I tend to use this time to unwind, think about what I have coming up, and recharge to hit the ground running again.
Learn a Skill or Hobby
Improve yourself. Take a night class or a self-paced class online. Maybe there is a hobby you have always wanted to get involved in? Painting is relaxing for a lot of people. Maybe there is a promotion or job title that you are hoping for, but might need a little more knowledge to help you along your path.
Rewrite Your Resume
When was the last time your resume was updated? Is your phone number and address even correct? Maybe a redesign is in order? I’m as guilty as the next person, I do not update my resume until I am asked for a resume. This should not be something you wait until you are currently in need of one to update what you have.
Read a Book
According to Inc.com, most CEOs and company executives ready 4-5 books per month. You can even listen to audio books while doing chores around the house. Books can teach you many things and allow your brain to be excersised and trained to think more
This is not an end all to the list of things that can be done. This is simply a list to get you started with some ideas on how to improve your life and way of thinking. I hope with these tips, you are never bored again!
