If you feel stuck, don’t scroll. Get bored.

I’ve noticed something recently:

The more noise I feed my brain…

The less it gives back.

Scrolling, swiping, refreshing, “learning”...

It all feels productive.

But really?

It’s just distraction wearing a motivational hoodie.

Here’s what’s actually been helping me:

Getting bored.

Seriously.

Boredom is underrated.

Long walks.

Slow mornings.

Reading books I’m not allowed to highlight.

Sitting alone without a phone in my hand.

That’s when the ideas show up.

Not forced. Not planned. Just… there.

Your brain needs space to breathe.

To wander.
To process.
To hand you the stuff you didn’t even know you were looking for.

But most people?

They never give it a shot.

They’re afraid of the quiet.

Because the quiet tells the truth.

And truth without distraction can feel uncomfortable.

But that’s also where clarity lives.

And inspiration.

And the kind of ideas that don’t come from another carousel on Instagram.

So if you’re stuck?

Don’t go looking for more input.

Try boredom.

It’s cheaper than a course.

Quieter than a podcast.

And way more honest than your timeline.
