I wasted a lot of time on the phone to scroll content. We have more content to be consumed per second. Such as a funny video, a piece, a political speech, some people are inspiring quote, a funny video, a piece, a political speech, quoted some inspiring people, and the cycle continued. From time to time I break the cycle, turning a long and interesting article. I read and feel smarter. Then, I hope to find an article that helped me understand more of the same content, but I can not find more.
"In other words, I'm bored."
More I consume, the more I need to consume, the more I will feel bored. I often turned to video games to relieve the pressure. I can spend two hours to shoot a virtual object, until I began to feel a sense of lack of entertainment. Then, I found myself closer to the phone, you can consume more scrolling content while playing the game. Only while stimulating all I feel, I will feel at ease.
Some people say that habit needs 21 days, while others think it takes about 66 days . Either way, it shows that we are all accustomed to the creator, if we perform a task long enough, it will become part of our routine. Boredom became part of our daily.

From consumption to production shift began to break barriers I used heavy habit brings. The more I write, the easier it is to make my thoughts surfaced. The more my mind the idea of pouring, the less I need for entertainment. I have the whole day to write some of the things I think is very interesting, if only to myself .
"Production rather than consumption."
Mind is like a magic bunny cap. You can fill countless rabbits in the magic hat, and always room to accommodate another rabbit. You do not see enough of Netflix's program, because there is always space for more of. If you are bored because rather watch a program, then you might then watch three programs.
Production, too, there is always an extra place to be mining. You can pull a rabbit out of a hat in countless when it looked empty when, dig deeper, you will find another rabbit. The more you produce, the more you get the idea. And the added benefit is that you feel the entertainment needs reduced.
In plain words, it is to make something, create something, build something. No matter what
It can be pottery, painting on paper, JavaScript files, wood components, shoe racks, sand castle, matches made toy house story. As long as you can save the content they create and their boasting, it could be anything. It need not even be a new thing or excellent.
Solving boring method is not continuous entertainment. But to create something not previously
