Podcasts about Boredom

I manifested early retirement at 28 after manifesting a fully paid dream home, passive income and investments. What it taught me : • You can manifest anything you set your mind to! • After you manifest everything you wanted, life gets boring and it's perfect! Boredom is the peace you prayed for. • The more trauma you heal, the less ambitious you get. It's psychological, look it up! • I care about living a simple minimalistic life and i care about the planet hence no cars, no overconsumption & no excess of anything. • My personal opinion on materialism and travelling. • I realised my unique life purpose to go against the herd mentality and live peacefully blissfully life of my own on my own terms with full sovereignty.

This is a fan fav episode. You are living through exciting and strange times. There are so many technological advances with AI, space travel, NFTs, and a rapidly changing culture with social media, it's near impossible to just turn ‘off'. Let's admit it, FOMO is real and it keeps a lot of people connected when they're not even sure why they're connected. When was the last time you unplugged and took on a challenge you weren't sure you'd complete? How long has it been since you've sat with yourself in total silence or allowed yourself to just be bored out of your mind? Author and journalist, Michael Easter, joins me today to discuss his journey and share the lessons and insights he's gained from spending a month in the Arctic surviving. Hunting his own food, carrying heavy loads, and sitting with absolute boredom are just part of his story. As you listen to his story, it is my hope you will consider ways you step out of your comfort zone. There is something very freeing about being able to shake things up and break your routines and habits to improve the quality of your life in unconventional ways. This episode is about facing discomfort and finding new ways to challenge yourself for the better. Order Michael Easter's new book, The Comfort Crisis - ⁠https://amzn.to/3ihebjB⁠  Original air date: 8-5-2021 SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Michael Easter 1:05 | The Comfort Crisis Explained 3:02 | Journey to the Arctic 5:03 | Recovering from Alcohol 7:40 | Outside the Comfort Zone 8:55 | Helicopter Parenting Losing Challenges 12:16 | Touching Controversial Topics 14:53 | Challenges Surviving the Arctic 20:11 | Problem Creep 28:05 | Need for Rite of Passage 35:12 | Metaphorical Lions for Passage 41:19 | Comfort Creep & Habits 44:22 | Breaking Routine to be Present 47:45 | Discomfort and Boredom 50:00 | Benefits of Boredom 57:12 | Daily Routine 1:02:11 | Rucking & Human Design 1:14:05 | Killing His 1st Caribou 1:17:16 | Life Cycle & Mortality 1:27:16 | “This Too Shall Pass” 1:30:31 | Want to Live Forever? 1:39:12 | Assigning Meaning to Life 1:42:20 | Rites of Passage Transformation 1:46:12 | Problem Creep Comparison 1:50:34 | Finding Gratitude  Learn more about your ad choices.

Next week is Christmas, and as Michelle reflects on the season—what it holds, what it doesn't, and the quieter spaces many of us feel at this time of year—an insight from a yin yoga class offers an unexpected theme: boredom. In yin yoga, long-held poses can bring up discomfort, restlessness, and resistance…but what caught Michelle's attention was her teacher's invitation to notice boredom specifically. That word landed immediately, because boredom wasn't just present in the pose—it was familiar in life.From there, Michelle explores boredom as one of the “quieter” emotions we're rarely taught to recognize, name, or stay present with. She shares a powerful childhood message about packing emotions into a shoebox and putting them away, and explains how many adults grow up fluent in managing the “big” emotions—like anger, grief, or anxiety—while remaining unsure what to do with subtler ones like boredom. But emotions aren't problems to fix. They're signals—like dashboard lights—offering information from your nervous system about what's happening inside and around you.Boredom, Michelle suggests, is often uncomfortable not because it's painful, but because it's empty. It creates space, and for many of us, space doesn't feel safe. That's why boredom becomes prime buffering territory: snacking when we're not hungry, scrolling without thinking, turning on noise, opening tabs, staying busy—anything to outrun the sensation of “nothing happening.” The goal isn't to judge these patterns. It's to recognize them. Because bored eating often looks and feels different than hunger-based eating, and without emotional awareness, we end up eating at boredom rather than listening to what it's asking for.Michelle invites you to consider what boredom might be teaching: a need for rest, novelty, connection, creativity—or a deeper discomfort with being alone with yourself. She shares how boredom has shown up in her own seasons of hustle and burnout, and how her resistance to stillness once made meditation feel nearly impossible. And she offers a simple, powerful practice: notice boredom in micro-moments (red lights, waiting rooms, the kettle boiling), name it, feel it in your body, notice the urge to escape, and stay with it for just ten more seconds.The episode closes with a layered personal insight: the contrast between poses like pigeon—where discomfort makes the emotional message loud—and more comfortable poses where boredom emerges and the lesson is quieter. In that quiet, Michelle recognizes a theme that's been following her: patience. Not forcing action because of anxiety, but slowing down long enough to let the message come through. And she invites you to reflect on your own relationship with boredom—and to reach out and share what you discover.In this episode, you'll learn:Why boredom is a “quiet” emotion that often gets overlookedHow boredom creates space—and why space can feel unsafeWhat buffering is, and why boredom is prime buffering territory (food, scrolling, busyness, noise)How bored eating differs from hunger-based eatingHow emotions function as nervous system “dashboard lights,” not problems to fixWhat boredom may be trying to communicate (rest, connection, novelty, creativity, burnout, fear of stillness)A simple micro-practice to build tolerance for boredom: name it, feel it, notice the urge, pause for 10 secondsWhy learning to sit with boredom supports emotional resilience and body trustHow yin yoga revealed a deeper theme: patience, and letting decisions come from clarity rather than urgency     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the 182nd episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, Andreea Mihalache joined me to discuss her new book, Boredom and the Architectural Imagination: Rudofsky, Venturi, Scott Brown, and Steinberg, which she published with the University of Virginia Press in 2024.  Exploring the boundaries of boredom, Andreea and I discuss Bernard Rudofsky, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown and Saul Steinberg, the four thinker-makers of the twentieth century explored in her excellent book, whose writing and design challenged boredom's pervasive, creeping grip on the modern imagination. Looking at our orderly, crisp and glassy, financialised cities now, it's perhaps difficult to see how their critique of modernity and the city changed anything. But by proposing modes of operation to counter it, each of these folk gave us ways of thinking, engaging and acting through design which remain elegant, generative and – I think – rather inspiring.  Andreea is Co-Director of the Architecture Graduate Programs and Associate Professor of Architecture at Clemson University, USA. The book is linked above. +Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick  #ArchitecturePodcast #ArchitecturalTheory #BoredomInArchitecture #LessIsABore #RobertVenturi #DeniseScottBrown #BernardRudofsky #SaulSteinberg #ArchitectureBooks #ArchTheoryPodcast

Christmas can feel familiar. Almost too familiar. We know the songs, the story, and the traditions. And if we're not careful, that familiarity can slowly turn into boredom. In this message from Mark 6:1–6, we see Jesus return to His hometown and be dismissed by the very people who knew Him best. They weren't rejecting Him because He lacked power. They missed Him because they thought they already knew Him. This message reminds us that Christmas doesn't lose its power because the story isn't true. It loses its power when we stop being amazed by it. Jesus came close. And He invites us to see Him again with fresh eyes, renewed wonder, and a heart that remembers why He came at all.

What if the key to creativity, meaning, and happiness isn't doing more, but doing less?When I realized I was spending 10 hours a week on Instagram, I knew something had to change. But instead of replacing it with more productivity hacks, I discovered something counterintuitive: my brain needs boredom.In this episode, I explore why eliminating boredom from our lives might be the root cause of modern depression and anxiety, and how embracing those uncomfortable moments of “doing nothing” can unlock creativity, meaning, and happiness.What You'll Learn:* Why humans prefer electric shocks over being alone with their thoughts* The Default Mode Network and what happens when your brain has nothing to do* Why eliminating boredom might be causing our epidemic of depression* How Agatha Christie, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Nash used boredom to fuel their creative breakthroughs* Practical challenges to reclaim boredom in your lifeTimestamps:0:00 - My 10-hour Instagram problem2:15 - What happens when you're bored4:30 - The electric shock experiment6:45 - Why we've engineered boredom out of our lives9:20 - The boredom challenge11:40 - How to get bored more often14:15 - Famous creators who credit boredom for their success17:30 - Book of the Week: Unreasonable Hospitality21:45 - Check This Out: 10-minute endometriosis test breakthroughLinks☀️ Are You Wasting Your Dopamine Budget Before Breakfast? - https://www.ninasnotes.xyz/p/153-are-you-wasting-your-dopamine48-Hour Phone Detox - https://www.ninasnotes.xyz/p/128-48-hours-unpluggedCONNECT WITH MENewsletter: https://www.ninasnotes.xyzLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninapatrick/Website: https://www.ninapatrick.xyz Get full access to Nina's Notes at www.ninasnotes.xyz/subscribe

Phones and AI aren't going anywhere, so the goal isn't to ban them, but to help our kids integrate them wisely. In this episode, we'll explore how constant connectivity impacts a child's ability to focus, plan, regulate emotions, and problem-solve. We'll look at why kids and teens are especially vulnerable to the “instant relief” loop that phones provide, and how AI can both support and hinder their growing brains.Most importantly, we'll talk about what parents can do: how to set boundaries that actually stick, how to preserve core executive functioning skills, and how to help your child build the resilience they'll need in a world where technology is always within reach.Jennifer's Takeaways:Impact of Cell Phones and AI on Kids' Focus and Problem-Solving Skills (00:00)Challenges of Multitasking with Multiple Screens (02:46)Balancing AI Use with Critical Thinking Skills (03:50)The Role of Boredom in Developing Creativity (05:47)Teaching Kids to Use AI as a Coach, Not a Crutch (07:05)The Future of AI in Education and Parenting (08:09)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

Are you actually productive…or just busy all the time?In this episode, speaker, coach and author Donna McGeorge flips the usual productivity conversation on its head. Instead of asking how to fit more in, she asks a harder question - What can you remove?We talk about the constant low-level burnout most of us live with, the addiction to saying yes, and how often we sacrifice our future self just to avoid discomfort right now. Donna breaks down her idea of Red Brick Thinking - a way of strategically removing emotional, cultural and structural “bricks” so you can reclaim time, energy and attention.If you feel like you're always on and are still falling behind, this conversation will help you breathe, simplify, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for.Timestamps:(00:00) Trailer(00:33) Introduction (01:01) Meet Donna McGeorge(01:44) Rethinking Productivity(02:58) Balancing Workload & Personal Well-being(10:31) The Impact of Technology on Our Lives(13:34) The Value of Downtime & Boredom(17:52) Reevaluating Ambition & Success(28:09) The Importance of Small, Consistent Steps(29:42) The Power of Incremental Improvement(30:41) Being Present in a Distracted World(36:46) Financial Struggles & Simplifying Life(38:30) The Joy of Subtraction (Red Brick Thinking)(47:37) Reflections & Personal Insights(50:51) Closing Thoughts & Final QuestionsAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Donna:Website: https://donnamcgeorge.com/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of Eternal Warriors) helps you learn how to never be “spiritually bored” again—and how to fight back when Satan uses anxiety, depression, distraction, and “I'm just lazy” thinking to shut you down.Maurice introduces key Eternal Warriors 4.0 principles, showing how passion projects—big, faith-based missions that matter to you—can become instant tools against feelings of worthlessness, boredom, and discouragement. Instead of just trying to “stop a bad habit,” you'll learn how to aim your life at something powerful, and then build systems that help you actually follow through.Using stories from his own life and work with Latter-day Saint individuals and couples, Maurice teaches:The “war between remembering and forgetting” and why forgetting your goals is not a personal weakness, but a Satanic strategyHow to use reminder systems (alarms, 3x5 cards, written plans) as spiritual weapons, not crutchesThe DAR cycle (Discover, Plan, Act, Reflect) and why planning specific times and places is like declaring war on Satan's interferenceHow to plan for failure with backup plans and still move forwardThe chemical scale and why moods (low motivation, “I'm just lazy,” “I'm broken”) are one of Satan's favorite toolsHow to catch Satan's lies, write them down, and create truth-based rebuttals so he can't reuse the same tricksIf you're an LDS man or woman trying to rebuild your marriage, overcome addiction, or develop real self-mastery through the gospel of Jesus Christ, this episode will help you see your mind, your schedule, and your “forgetfulness” in a whole new spiritual light.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Guillermo Schulte to explore how AI is reshaping up-skilling, re-skilling, and the future of education through play, from learning games and gamification to emotional intelligence, mental health, and the coming wave of abundance and chaos that technology is accelerating; they also get into synchronous vs. asynchronous learning, human–AI collaboration, and how organizations can use data-driven game experiences for cybersecurity, onboarding, and ongoing training.

Guillermo highlights how rapid technological change is transforming every profession, making continuous learning essential for remaining employable and adding value in a world where machines increasingly handle routine tasks.Play is humanity's native learning tool—and video games unlock it for adults. He explains that humans are wired to learn through play, yet traditional education suppresses this instinct. Learning games reintroduce engagement, emotion, and curiosity, making education more intuitive and scalable.Gamified, asynchronous learning can democratize access. While synchronous interaction is powerful, Guillermo emphasizes that mobile-first, game-based learning allows millions—including those without resources—to gain skills anytime, closing gaps in opportunity and meritocracy.Emotional intelligence will matter more as AI takes over technical tasks. As AI becomes increasingly capable in logic-heavy fields, human strengths like empathy, leadership, creativity, and relationship-building become central to meaningful work and personal fulfillment.Novelty and boredom shape how we learn and think. They discuss how constant novelty can stunt creativity, while boredom creates the mental space for insight. Future learning systems will need to balance stimulation with reflection to avoid cognitive overload.Abundance will bring psychological challenges alongside material benefits. Stewart and Guillermo point out that while AI and robotics may create unprecedented prosperity, they may also destabilize identity and purpose, amplifying the already-growing mental health crisis.AI-powered game creation could redefine education entirely. Guillermo describes TGA's upcoming platform that lets anyone transform documents into personalized learning games, using player data to adapt difficulty and style—potentially making learning more effective, accessible, and enjoyable than traditional instruction.

In today's episode, I sit down with the brilliant and grounding Erin Walsh (author of "It's Their World Teens, Screens and the Science of Adolescence" and co-founder of the Spark and Stitch Institute) to talk about something every parent I know is secretly panicking about: raising humans in a digital world that evolves faster than our nervous systems can blink.Erin and I go way beyond the usual “screen-time limits” conversation. We get into the real, nuanced, evidence-based, actually-helpful stuff—like how our kids' tech behaviors are so often a mirror of our own emotional regulation, why shared family tech rituals matter more than the perfect set of rules, and what boys are learning (or not learning) about their emotions from the online spaces they inhabit.We talk about how the digital world is designed to hijack attention, how masculinity is being shaped in comment sections, and why secure attachment is still the number-one “parental control” we have access to. We explore the importance of boredom (yes, boredom—the thing our kids act like is fatal), co-regulation, and crowding out screens not with shame but with shared experiences that actually feel good to everyone.This conversation is honest, compassionate, and genuinely relieving. It names what so many of us feel but don't say out loud: it's hard to raise kids right now. The landscape is unfamiliar, the stakes feel high, and none of us grew up with the tools we're expected to have. Erin offers practical, grounded wisdom—and together, we remind you that you don't have to navigate any of this alone, and you don't have to do it perfectly for your kids to thrive.TakeawaysThe digital landscape poses unique and unprecedented challenges for families.Understanding how screen time affects development helps us guide—not control—our kids.Secure attachment is the most powerful buffer against tech-related overwhelm.Parents play an essential role in helping children navigate online content and culture.Boys often learn emotional expression from peers and online role models—many of whom are not emotionally mature.Boredom is not a crisis; it's a crucible for creativity and regulation.Shared family tech experiences build connection and restore balance.Emotional regulation means feeling feelings without causing harm to self or others.Healthy media habits require replacement strategies—not just restrictions.We need community, patience, and open dialogue to raise emotionally resilient kids in a digital age.Enjoy the episode, and I highly recommend Erin's book and work! https://sparkandstitchinstitute.com/about/erin-walsh/

Wil and Nicholas open by talking about “flowing like water” and how that mindset shows up in hospitality: staying adaptable, humble, and open. Nicholas traces his path from teaching skiing to unexpectedly building a career in enterprise software and QA with major pharma and tech companies, then starting a nonprofit, and finally helping open Feast Bistro in Bozeman. He describes the harsh reality of the first two years at Feast: the gap between fantasy and the P&L, mispriced menus, long hours, financial strain, and the grit required to survive COVID. What kept them afloat was humility, constant feedback from guests, and a deep belief that hospitality is about service, not ego.Those struggles led him to create Check This Out, a simple SMS-driven retention and word-of-mouth platform built first for Feast. Traditional marketing (direct mail, email, social) felt like guesswork because he couldn't track what actually drove revenue or distinguish new from returning guests. By counting every mailer and transcribing every comment card, he discovered that over 80% of guests came because someone they knew recommended Feast. That insight became the backbone of Check This Out: use SMS to bring guests back more often and amplify referrals with trackable, time-bound offers that clearly show who is driving traffic and sales. Throughout the episode, Nicholas emphasizes the same core ideas he's lived by: hospitality as service, learning over knowing, capital-efficient building, and using simple tools that actually work.10 Key Takeaways Hospitality is a gateway industry.Nicholas entered it through ski instruction and serving tables, learning empathy and customer focus, skills that shaped everything he's done since. Boredom fuels creativity.Long, quiet Vermont summers sparked the imagination that later helped him pivot careers and eventually become an entrepreneur. An unlikely path to restaurateur.Years in software QA taught him how to build systems that solve real user problems, experience that later informed Feast and Check This Out. Most pro formas are fantasy.Reality hits fast in restaurants: labor, food cost, pricing, and traffic rarely match projections, and the P&L forces honesty. Underpricing is a common early mistake.Feast discovered they were charging too little and had to adjust based on real customer behavior and feedback. Equity builds commitment.Giving chefs, GMs, and key partners skin in the game helped Feast survive the hardest stretches and come out stronger. Listening is everything.Nicholas embraces Kaizen and Deming's cycle: feedback from guests and staff only matters if you act on it without ego. Word-of-mouth is the true growth engine.His analysis showed 80%+ of guests came through personal recommendations, far more than any ad channel. SMS outperforms email and social.Near-100% open rates and fast response times mean campaigns drive real, trackable revenue, something other channels can't match. Check This Out delivers “butts in seats.”Restaurants use it to send compelling texts and let guests forward offers to friends, giving operators clear attribution and measurable ROI instead of guesswork.

Let's get honest for a second. Porn addiction isn't really about sex. It's about connection… about loneliness, shame, and the ache to feel close to something when life feels empty or overwhelming. My guest for this episode, Sathiya Sam, knows that pain deeply. After a 15-year struggle with porn addiction, he rebuilt his life and now helps others do the same through his Deep Clean program - a compassionate, science-meets-spirituality approach that helps people stop using porn and start building real connection again. We're talking about what really drives addiction, the role of purpose and community in recovery, how to protect kids in this new digital world, and what AI “relationships” mean for the future of intimacy. It's a deep, human conversation about healing, hope, and the real work of reclaiming yourself.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.
