5 Things You Might Want to Do Before You Become Bored with Someone or Something

Have you got a bit of time?  Good.  Just a friendly reminder to head off those future bored feelings sooner rather than later.  Consider the following five tips.

1.  Take a break from the activity.  From talking with someone to tending to a task, don't keep doing something until you tire of it.  Break frequently if you know you tend to get bored easily.

2.  Change up routines.  Starting to feel like you don't want to do anything more than what you already do weekend after weekend?  Well it might seem okay right now and so you go on with the typical, but in time you will bore.  Break up some of the same ole, same ole with new activities.

3.  Don't assume others might become bored of someone or something.  Take control of your own emotions when it comes to what might be potentially boring to you, but may not be for others.  You should never suggest they do something different when they haven't given you any indication that they want to.

4.  Plan your day so that you can get a variety of things done rather than just one.  This way you won't become bored with something important and then just abandon it altogether.

5.  If you know that you or others will be traveling somewhere and might get bored, plan in advance different things to do while on your trip.

Boredom is a state of mind.  Like with most things, when the mind is telling you it no longer wants to do something by shutting down, forgetting often, or not listening anymore to others, obey it and do something unique.
