In this video I talk about something most of us try to avoid: boredom. The whole “Run Study Lift” loop only works long-term if I stop needing constant stimulation to get started. When I’m always chasing novelty—new apps, new playlists, new hacks—studying starts to feel like something I need to be entertained into doing. Instead, I’m trying to embrace the quiet moments and let boredom do its job: it pushes me back toward the work that actually matters. I keep it simple. I run to clear the noise, I study with fewer inputs and fewer tabs, and I lift to build consistency and confidence outside the desk. The takeaway is that boredom isn’t a problem to solve—it’s a signal that my brain is resetting. When I lean into that, I focus longer, my systems get simpler, and I rely less on motivation. If you want a practical next step, I also share my free reading list (linked) because the right books can help you reframe discipline, attention, and minimalism in a way that sticks.
