  • 00:00:00
    right now I plan for you to never feel
  • 00:00:02
    bored again and I'm going to try to do
  • 00:00:04
    that by giving you 101 things that I've
  • 00:00:07
    done before that did not make me feel
  • 00:00:10
    bored anymore before I was doing this I
  • 00:00:12
    was scrolling a lot I was stuck
  • 00:00:16
    inside I wasn't sure what to do it felt
  • 00:00:18
    like I had no meaning but when I started
  • 00:00:21
    doing just one thing out of these
  • 00:00:24
    1001 my life easily felt awesome so I
  • 00:00:27
    don't want you to miss out on this it
  • 00:00:29
    isn't going to be random things like
  • 00:00:31
    picking your nose that have no meaning
  • 00:00:33
    these aren't going to be dry things like
  • 00:00:35
    just reading a book watch this video
  • 00:00:38
    till the end so you can never feel bored
  • 00:00:41
    again this might be one of those videos
  • 00:00:43
    that you have to end up rewatching or
  • 00:00:44
    saving
  • 00:00:46
    because if you keep coming back to this
  • 00:00:48
    and just try one different
  • 00:00:52
    thing you won't be
  • 00:00:54
    bored such a good way to start this off
  • 00:00:57
    is by doing the first thing which is
  • 00:00:59
    making a letter to your future self I
  • 00:01:02
    did this when I was 15 years old I made
  • 00:01:06
    a little video talking about where I was
  • 00:01:09
    right now and where I would want to be
  • 00:01:10
    when I turned 16 which I am 16 right now
  • 00:01:14
    and it was really cool looking back at
  • 00:01:16
    that a year later seeing where I was
  • 00:01:19
    stuck what my problems were and how I
  • 00:01:22
    surprisingly fixed a lot of those things
  • 00:01:24
    it'll be a cool thing you can do right
  • 00:01:26
    now which will take a few minutes and
  • 00:01:28
    you can see how far you've changed when
  • 00:01:32
    you look back on that in a month in a
  • 00:01:34
    year and 10 years the second thing you
  • 00:01:37
    can do is Adventure
  • 00:01:39
    hopping which is going on one adventure
  • 00:01:42
    to the next I did this when I was biking
  • 00:01:44
    around where I liveed and went to the
  • 00:01:47
    pizza shop went to the smoothie
  • 00:01:51
    place went to the playground next to
  • 00:01:56
    me I kept exploring these new spots that
  • 00:01:59
    I've never really been
  • 00:02:01
    to and it easily just passed 5 hours of
  • 00:02:05
    entertainment and
  • 00:02:08
    fun while being outside
  • 00:02:11
    exploring talking with new people
  • 00:02:14
    learning new things that thing alone was
  • 00:02:16
    better than all the hours I've spent
  • 00:02:18
    scrolling the third thing you can do is
  • 00:02:20
    a nostalgic thing something you've
  • 00:02:23
    haven't done in years I did this when I
  • 00:02:26
    was going through my old closet I was
  • 00:02:30
    kind of bored one day and I saw this Wii
  • 00:02:33
    console in my
  • 00:02:35
    closet I took it out I untangled all the
  • 00:02:39
    wires I kind of stopped playing video
  • 00:02:41
    games as much but I figured I earned it
  • 00:02:45
    as a reward I was working a lot of the
  • 00:02:48
    day and I finally wanted a 30 minute
  • 00:02:50
    break to try this cool thing that I
  • 00:02:52
    haven't done in so long finished setting
  • 00:02:54
    up the Wii and the reaction I had when I
  • 00:02:58
    finally turned on the TV
  • 00:03:01
    and saw the same Wii screen that I did
  • 00:03:03
    for so long it brought back so many
  • 00:03:06
    memories and the first thing I do is
  • 00:03:09
    play Mario Kart Wii go on one of the
  • 00:03:12
    carts on Funky Kong and have a blast
  • 00:03:15
    trying this new shortcut that I've never
  • 00:03:17
    done before and when I finally hit it it
  • 00:03:19
    felt so good do you notice what I did do
  • 00:03:24
    you notice what I did in that fourth
  • 00:03:25
    thing while I was talking there was
  • 00:03:27
    Clips going on in it
  • 00:03:30
    so that's the fourth thing you can try
  • 00:03:32
    doing a video
  • 00:03:35
    story where you combined a few clips of
  • 00:03:39
    you doing something into a story if I
  • 00:03:42
    want to make a video story I can do it
  • 00:03:44
    how I'm sitting at this
  • 00:03:47
    bench and I open the door to my house I
  • 00:03:51
    walk and then I sit down and then it's
  • 00:03:54
    me looking at the view from the bench
  • 00:03:57
    that's a video story and that's
  • 00:03:59
    something really funny you can do you
  • 00:04:01
    can also write stories I've been doing
  • 00:04:03
    this every single day and it gave me a
  • 00:04:05
    lot of motivation to get those cool
  • 00:04:07
    stories so I can put it down as a story
  • 00:04:10
    and then I remember so many things that
  • 00:04:12
    I do it allows me to tell you about it
  • 00:04:17
    tell other people about it if you'd want
  • 00:04:19
    a cool way you can share that too you
  • 00:04:22
    can also make your own YouTube channel
  • 00:04:25
    you can also make your own YouTube video
  • 00:04:27
    and talk about a story share a video a
  • 00:04:29
    story do something that you like I've
  • 00:04:31
    wanted to do YouTube for so long but
  • 00:04:34
    I've never started it and when I finally
  • 00:04:36
    did look at where I'm at right now
  • 00:04:39
    hopefully these six things gave you an
  • 00:04:41
    idea of what you can do so far but a
  • 00:04:44
    great way to get more ideas is going on
  • 00:04:47
    a 5 minute walk you can set a timer for
  • 00:04:50
    10 minutes and see how much progress you
  • 00:04:52
    can make to cleaning your room washing
  • 00:04:55
    the dishes doing some
  • 00:04:57
    chore with all the ideas I'm about to
  • 00:04:59
    talk talk about you can make some goals
  • 00:05:02
    for this month that you have to write
  • 00:05:04
    down and remember and take action on you
  • 00:05:07
    can also try drawing a painting of
  • 00:05:10
    something cool that you saw or something
  • 00:05:12
    that you want to decorate with your room
  • 00:05:13
    you can create something else by playing
  • 00:05:16
    music I just learned the K crusty crab
  • 00:05:19
    song on the piano and I've been playing
  • 00:05:21
    it and it's really fun when you're in
  • 00:05:23
    school you can ask the teacher to go to
  • 00:05:26
    the bathroom even if you don't have to
  • 00:05:28
    to just walk around and stop sitting all
  • 00:05:31
    the time you'll feel a lot more free
  • 00:05:34
    when you do that especially when you
  • 00:05:36
    climb a tree I haven't done it in years
  • 00:05:38
    so when I finally did it it felt
  • 00:05:41
    great I could see the whole world from
  • 00:05:44
    that tree I know this one's kind of hard
  • 00:05:47
    to do but you can really try talking
  • 00:05:49
    with people it'll give a great way to
  • 00:05:51
    pass the time if you're in school or in
  • 00:05:54
    some environment this will help
  • 00:05:56
    extremely with being with friends when
  • 00:05:59
    I'm with
  • 00:06:00
    friends doesn't matter what I'm doing
  • 00:06:02
    it's not boring if I'm at my job working
  • 00:06:06
    if I'm with friends it's a lot more fun
  • 00:06:09
    if I'm at school with friends it's a lot
  • 00:06:10
    more fun if I'm doing anything with
  • 00:06:12
    friends it's a lot more fun some things
  • 00:06:15
    I like doing even if I am alone or
  • 00:06:18
    biking there's so many cool spots and
  • 00:06:22
    things I've done in the morning at night
  • 00:06:24
    in the day exploring around while biking
  • 00:06:28
    exploring this cool park that's 30
  • 00:06:31
    minutes biking distance from me and
  • 00:06:33
    discovering A Whole New World from it it
  • 00:06:35
    feels like this it's crazy to think that
  • 00:06:39
    this part actually exists 30 minutes
  • 00:06:42
    away from me from biking and I could
  • 00:06:44
    just go to it whenever I want I've also
  • 00:06:47
    been trying photography just as a cool
  • 00:06:49
    way I can document what I've been doing
  • 00:06:52
    but also share it with you you can also
  • 00:06:55
    cook some stuff whether it's just making
  • 00:06:58
    eggs or actually making a dinner instead
  • 00:07:01
    of your parents doing it so they can
  • 00:07:03
    have some breathing time like I said
  • 00:07:06
    with exploring try some food around you
  • 00:07:08
    see if there's some hidden gems around
  • 00:07:11
    where you live that you never even
  • 00:07:12
    realized there's this one breakfast
  • 00:07:15
    place that I like so much that I can
  • 00:07:18
    literally walk to that I never knew
  • 00:07:20
    existed but I have to go there again
  • 00:07:23
    some time to just work there and eat
  • 00:07:26
    that stuff again it was so good you can
  • 00:07:28
    learn something new that genuinely seems
  • 00:07:30
    interesting to you for example I can
  • 00:07:32
    learn some new photography tip and I'm
  • 00:07:35
    genuinely interested in that so it'll
  • 00:07:37
    help me I won't be bored you can make
  • 00:07:39
    some art project I made this cardboard
  • 00:07:42
    detective scene kind of
  • 00:07:43
    thing from cardboard and some old
  • 00:07:46
    clothes that I didn't wear anymore
  • 00:07:48
    speaking of clothes you can make a
  • 00:07:50
    drippy outfit I have one of these white
  • 00:07:52
    shirts with two buttons and a smiley
  • 00:07:54
    face on it that I made because I thought
  • 00:07:56
    it was really cool I was thinking of
  • 00:07:58
    selling it but I liked it so much that I
  • 00:08:01
    just wanted to keep it but something
  • 00:08:03
    cool you can do to also make money is
  • 00:08:05
    getting a job applying somewhere around
  • 00:08:08
    you and just working there part-time
  • 00:08:11
    over the summer or on the weekends you
  • 00:08:14
    can get your brain thinking by solving a
  • 00:08:16
    Rubik's Cube if you're trying to wind
  • 00:08:19
    down during the day you don't really
  • 00:08:20
    want to do anything watch a podcast
  • 00:08:22
    learn something from that that is
  • 00:08:24
    interesting you can always do push-ups
  • 00:08:27
    Outside Inside morning
  • 00:08:29
    nighttime try origami making some paper
  • 00:08:32
    airplane or crane you can try
  • 00:08:34
    skateboarding I had to use one of the
  • 00:08:36
    super old skateboards that I haven't
  • 00:08:39
    used in years you can always go in a run
  • 00:08:42
    I like to run to this playground and
  • 00:08:44
    then do some pull-ups try to do a muscle
  • 00:08:46
    up there I know I said I wouldn't talk
  • 00:08:48
    about reading but read something that
  • 00:08:50
    you genuinely want to read about maybe
  • 00:08:53
    it's an event that happened you can also
  • 00:08:55
    just listen to music don't do anything
  • 00:08:57
    else but just listen listen to the music
  • 00:09:00
    that you want to listen to and
  • 00:09:01
    appreciate it at school I love to play
  • 00:09:04
    chopsticks it's that game with the two
  • 00:09:06
    fingers and you have to hit it like that
  • 00:09:09
    and then it's really fun instead of
  • 00:09:11
    taking the bus like I usually do from
  • 00:09:13
    school one time I actually walked from
  • 00:09:15
    school even though it took an hour it
  • 00:09:17
    was a lot more fun especially because I
  • 00:09:19
    did it with someone you can try to get
  • 00:09:21
    20 fist bumps or dap UPS try sitting at
  • 00:09:25
    a different lunch table taking a
  • 00:09:27
    different School Bus talking to your
  • 00:09:30
    teachers try jump roping and see how
  • 00:09:32
    many you can do when you focus on one
  • 00:09:35
    video it really helps a lot with feeling
  • 00:09:39
    bored you're not scrolling all the time
  • 00:09:42
    it allows the things that are more
  • 00:09:46
    difficult to do seem a lot more fun
  • 00:09:52
    because if you're at a point where you
  • 00:09:55
    don't want to do what you're doing
  • 00:09:58
    anything else you do will be more
  • 00:10:01
    interesting doing chores will be fun
  • 00:10:03
    working out will be fun standing in line
  • 00:10:07
    waiting for something will be
  • 00:10:09
    fun being in traffic will be fun
  • 00:10:12
    thinking will be fun think creatively
  • 00:10:16
    and be
  • 00:10:17
    optimistic that's how I solved a lot of
  • 00:10:19

    a lot of the ideas I've gotten from this
  • 00:13:29
    were from setting yearly goals where I
  • 00:13:31
    would just spit out a bunch of things I
  • 00:13:33
    wanted to do before the year ends and
  • 00:13:36
    thankfully I've done a lot of it because
  • 00:13:38
    of it something cool I've done was going
  • 00:13:40
    mushroom hunting where when there was a
  • 00:13:42
    lot of mushrooms on the grass I would
  • 00:13:45
    walk around in forests trying to find
  • 00:13:48
    some cool mushrooms I spent 2 hours
  • 00:13:51
    trying to do it and I do not regret a
  • 00:13:54
    single minute of me doing that because
  • 00:13:56
    it felt so cool I had no care of time
