I get bored easily, as I like being around people, and since I'm homeschooled I don't have much of a social life. I know I probably drive my mom nutty when I say "Mom, I'm bored!" yet again. But I see that I should be using those times when I'm bored to do something more productive. My problem is that I need to find something hard and productive to do instead of having the excuse that there's "nothing to do". But thanks Alex and Brett for the encouragement! this post is really helpful and your book "Do Hard Things" helped change my mindset about what teens are capable of doing. Thanks!

I have not termed my boredom as such for a very long time but realized that I do still feel it. Never have I dealt with it in the right way. There are plenty of diversions-reading a book or texting a friend. My hard thing, however, I am still looking for. I have no idea what could be special and hard enough for me. Maybe my hard thing will be doing something mediocre. I was instantly convicted of sin when I began reading the article.

I get bored very easily. And most of the time, I go browse through the kitchen to find a snack and never find one, or go on facebook. I love your analogies, and how you said to do something a bit difficult! I'll try that. After recently reading your book, I've wanted to do something hard. But what? Well, it could just be doing something simple like not going onto facebook when I'm bored! :) This article was great! I get bored very easily.

Years ago my mum said to me: 'If you're being bored, you're being selfish.' I'd never thought about it like that before, and I've never forgotten it. I realized that an instant (but not necessarily fun) cure for boredom is doing something for someone else - a younger sibling or your mum or dad. Now, every time I open my mouth to say 'I'm bored!' this sentence pops into my head and helps me do the right thing. I read Do Hard Things six months ago and it totally changed the way I think about my life. Thank you Alex and Brett! May God continue to use you for his glory. This is a great article!

Yet I don't know how deal with teachers that are evil & want to annihilate & then obliterate me! In those classes I'm anything but bored.
