Boredom is a skill

The skill of “boredom” means not being addicted to external noise and distractions.

 

If you can quietly sit without looking at your phone or looking for company or picking up a book, you can be bored.

 

Being comfortable with boredom can be a rewarding skill.

 

It’s not easy for entrepreneurs to be bored.

 

You want action. You want motion. You have energy. You have an incessant voice in your head.

 

Boredom is anathema to you. A form of torture akin to water-boarding.

 

No one said being an entrepreneur would be easy.

 

Start teaching yourself to be cool with being bored. Learn to be patient. Learn to sit without looking at your phone every 30 seconds. Learn to breathe in slowly and meditate.

 

Boredom is a skill. Learn it
