Being bored can actually be useful. Unfortunately, we live in a society where entertainment of every kind is easily reachable.
“Lots of people have noted that we no longer allow ourselves to become bored. Laying on grass and watching the clouds go by seems to be less common and yet it's another simple way to generate ideas," Napier said.
Speaking of listening to other people’s thoughts, tips, and tricks, previously, Bored Panda spoke to LA-based TV writer Amanda Deibert, who had gone viral for a Twitter thread about surprisingly good advice.
According to her, people are great at giving advice instead of listening to it. That’s because it’s far easier to clearly see the problems someone else might be struggling with. It’s far harder to take an honest look at our own issues. There’s just too much noise.
"When it is our own life, we also have to deal with our own emotions and attachments and habits. I can easily see something with detachment when it isn't my own issue. I think it is actually incredibly difficult to detach and really look at your own life," Amanda said.
"I think change is difficult and scary and most good advice revolves around change. Not making a decision is a decision... and it's the easiest one to make. I think the best way around it is to remember that. Good things are difficult and take work, but sitting back and allowing life to just happen is a choice."
