I used this method to get myself to organise my life. It always seemed supper hard to even begin sorting the amount of stuff that I accumulated over the years. And being super bored and not allowed to do anything except the stuff I had to. It worked like a miracle. I layed on the floor for hours until I finally started doing one small step at a time. I recommend this very strongly to anyone who wants to start their own thing but just can't get themselves to move in that direction or get overwhelmed fast.
The calmness in the video is all want, I had limited my phone usage to 20 minutes a day, but this video made me realize that since last 2 weeks I have been using it pretty much on autopilot. Thanks Kalle!
Boredom isn’t a bug it’s a feature ❤ Also great video man,really loved the programming videos but these are really amazing man love that you are making this more like a what’s more in your life yk Much love❤
Kalle, you conveyed your point across perfectly! A person does not like to be bored and therefore, tries their hardest to be occupied with something (easiest would be: social media, etc ...). But if you force yourself to do nothing, soon, you'll start either thinking about something or wanting to do something. When you start thinking about something, that ignites your creativity. And when you start wanting to do something, that's when you should start working. At least, that's how I interpreted your message! 😅
I 100% agree. When I'm doing nothing and just chill, I'm thinking about what I could do instead. I'm not thinking about picking up my phone. Good one Kalle!
Great video Kalle. I find when, I do nothing or meditate and let the mind wander it does make a difference (to an extent). However, at least in my experience, I think, that sometimes, it is easy to get derailed and not want to do a task because of the factors like, the law of diminishing returns where the more initial effort we put into something over time, the less additional grains we make. And the bell curve where progress is slow, then we get a surge, but after, it feels like, we are stagnating when we in fact, we are not. I know these concept is used in business but I read they can be applied to other areas of life.
That’s actually so true, because I realized that when I purposely don’t use my phone first in the morning and just do my things. I find my self 95% more productive than ever.
it is almost the counter intuitive that brings you to the great discoveries. And just as the ancient wisdom such as the Tao Te Ching gives much importance to nothingness, Bordeom seems to be the space where our brains get rid of the superficial chains and focus on the necessary.
I would just like to make a broader perspective on emotions. People get them wrong. Emotions are bodily reactions to events that are important for us and are created by our thinking patterns (conscious or unconscious) that are always logical but may be incorrect or correct, but logical never the less . Therefore we can say that all emotions are rational(contrary to the popular belief that they are irrational ). That means that emotions are not negative or positive in a moralistic kind of way, but are inherently positive for the survival and accomplishment of the individual (except for self hatred and self contempt). We distinguish 4 main emotions. Sadnes (which encourages us to change our way of thinking ), anger (which motivates us to solve the things that do not go as we want(and anger does not mean shouting and aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is behavior which is NOT a part of the emotion, but is dictated by us)), fear and joy. We activate them only when we perceive something to be important. This is the part when our duty to think right comes in. If our logic is incorrect our body will react incorrectly to the stimulus that we define as important. We as humans can distinguish them by allot of factors but I will center on comfortableness here. Our culture believes that uncomfortable emotions (fear, anger, sadness and also boredom) are negative so we should avoid them. And this i think is part of the problem that Hallden was trying to convey in this video. That its not that the emotions are the problem but our behaviors(which like i said. Emotions certainly motivate you but you CHOOSE the behavior that solves the problem, you dont have to run away when you feel fear about something but can approach slowly). I personally think this truth is freeing in the deepest of meanings because it shows that while outside events may make us feel uncomfortable, it does not mean that they own us or even that we should react to them. This knowledge is from a psychotherapy book called "understanding of emotions in psychotherapy by zoran milivojevic". and as far as i know it is only available in Serbian and Slovenian language. Cheers guys.
I actually experienced all of the things you were saying, man. My idea was to put the phone in a place that I know (not near me) to increase productivity in my day-to-day life. I think the next stage is allowing yourself time to do all of this stuff,it was an amazing video !
Sounds more like clarity comes from peace and quiet not boredom. We should not confuse boredom with not doing anything or simply being present in the moment alone with our thoughts.
The insight in this video and the way you conveyed your ideas calmly and delicately were extremely engaging. I'm really enjoying this new phase of your channel, where you share your thoughts and ideas that you've been developing. Keep up with this type of content; I started following you for the programming, but I had an even greater surprise in liking your more personal content even more.
Not exactly the same thing, but this reminded me of how Bill Gates takes a week off just to read every year. There really are too many distractions, and we don't give our brains nearly enough time to process all the new information we gather, whether it be from programming tutorials or tiktoks and instagram stories. We need to "process" the data.
You should start a podcast. And what you said about siting and not doing anything asides what you have to do is actually solid. Kind of a dopamine detox on its own.
Yes. This works. The hard part for me is still trying to figure out what work to do. So for the moment i am just trying random goals, but still not sure if i am on the right path. kinda similar to you... lets see were we end up :)
This channel went from Linux to Life in just matter of a year ( So soon ) This content is Nice but we are missing the old Linux intro and you explaing code and projects which are the real boredom and dopamine at the same time for the developers out there . Hope that content comes back one day !
Looking back at my child hood, I now get my parents explanation "Boredom increases creativity and curiosity" for limiting media consumption. Unfortunately, videos like yours were not made back then so it was hard to understand the reason with limited life experience.
That if the phone is EE, even turned upside down, some of your attention will constantly be focused upon it, as some part of your mind is wondering whether you received any notifications or messages et cetera. The people with the phone or other device in the viewed performed, less well at a variety of cognitive tasks and those withno devices in view or reach. I imagine the best idea is to have a device in an entirely different room.
unfortunately with your channel taking a TURN in a different direction your viewcount is basically SHOT perm, but this video is actually quality-full, ty.
the main issue is that your brain seeks the best energy to reward cost, and your mind is trained to resort to things like looking at your phone, porn, masturbation etc. because it takes very little effort for lots of dopamine. To be productive, you need to unlearn these habits. People should restrict themselves and after a certain time, they should balance it with something like taking a nap, going to the gym, going out alone in nature etc, with no phone, no music. That works. there is nothing that makes me want to work harder than being alone, going for a walk, and thinking about the reward of the work that Im intending to do this day. you need to not go on the phone or do any rewarding activity before work. ideally just take a shower, maybe go for a short walk, and immediately work a few hours, before you consider food. otherwise your realeasing dopamine and you will loose the urge to be productive, cause its too easy to go online and get some dopamine released, and people are typically flooded with dopamine online.
10:20 another example of this that I like is that someone (Democritus) thought up the idea of Atom before the microscope was invented. Before the concept of science itself was invented. This guy just thought up the idea that everyone and every thing was created from tiny little particles.
I really identified with all your thoughts. In the past I tried to do the same but fell back into my bad habits. This is the perfect time to start again and try to change my habits and free my mind. Thank you for your time to make a brilliant video🙌🏽🍃

First here, shows how powerful boredom is
I dont usually comment on the youtube but i cant control myself from commenting that MY THINKING MATCHES EXACTLY LIKE YOU
The calmness in the video is all want, I had limited my phone usage to 20 minutes a day, but this video made me realize that since last 2 weeks I have been using it pretty much on autopilot.
Thanks Kalle!
Love the insights! Shows how the most simplest of things are overlooked. Simple and practical.
Boredom isn’t a bug it’s a feature ❤
Also great video man,really loved the programming videos but these are really amazing man love that you are making this more like a what’s more in your life yk
Much love❤

🎉 nicely said 🎉🎉
I 100% agree.

Absolutely stellar video, felt like a mini-documentary. Very informative and insightful, would love to see more of these!
I don't know if I am the only one who noticed or not, but great physical improvement! Keep it up
Kalle looking absolutely swole 🗿
Ayyyo, did you pump before the intro? Lookin' like a Greek God with the wisdom of Solomon. 💀😆
This video came out at the perfect time! So relatable

This is the video we all need right now (I have a test on Monday and haven't studied at all...)
Lets survive academia bro. I also don't wanna do any of this shit. I just want money.
😹💦 not much point cramming🧠 * unless you have blazing Hot🌡Tips or copy of actual exam.
@@RoxyStellar forced memorisation in this information age was one of the funniest ironies of universities.
love all the ideas in this video!
This approach seems super interesting, will definitely give it a try
More than anything. I am just glad to have your videos back on my youtube feed. This was a lovely use of 15 minutes of my life.

Damn man, you look shreddED, well done
Boredom is a feature that creates geniuses in humans. Newton is a pure example.
it is almost the counter intuitive that brings you to the great discoveries. And just as the ancient wisdom such as the Tao Te Ching gives much importance to nothingness, Bordeom seems to be the space where our brains get rid of the superficial chains and focus on the necessary.
Man... I wish I was your friend man, so much I could learn from you. Thanks for all your work bro.

Well summarized, been doing the same for a long time, at this point i have no "social media" applications on my phone, it made it easier.
Came here for the programing, and subscribed for the Hallden 💖
I like the simplicity of your strategy that you're only allowed to either do the work, or do nothing, I'm going to try it starting now!
Thank you Kalle, you have given me a new perspective. I love your video!
Sounds more like clarity comes from peace and quiet not boredom. We should not confuse boredom with not doing anything or simply being present in the moment alone with our thoughts.
looking fucking JACKED mate.

After a long time you make a video and it was worth it. Really valuable content thanks for the Idea.
thanks for sharing!

Discovered you trying to learn classes and how was I not in this train.
I loved the thought you transfered during this video ♥
You should start a podcast.
And what you said about siting and not doing anything asides what you have to do is actually solid.
Kind of a dopamine detox on its own.
You did make sense, and I'm going to try it out.
This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
amazing one, this can help me in lonely journey of change.
❤
Great video
Yes. This works. The hard part for me is still trying to figure out what work to do. So for the moment i am just trying random goals, but still not sure if i am on the right path. kinda similar to you... lets see were we end up :)
Great cinematography hallden , keep it up👍🏼
This channel went from Linux to Life in just matter of a year ( So soon )
This content is Nice
but we are missing the old Linux intro and you explaing code and projects which are the real boredom and dopamine at the same time for the developers out there .
Hope that content comes back one day !
Super clear! Love it!
Thank you.
Awesome point! Love it
Love this content, thanks Kalle.
Start meditating and trying to be present and undisturbed from random thoughts, and boredom will be gone just like that.
Watched the programming but subscribing because of this. 🙃
Looking back at my child hood, I now get my parents explanation "Boredom increases creativity and curiosity" for limiting media consumption. Unfortunately, videos like yours were not made back then so it was hard to understand the reason with limited life experience.
Watching 15min of this i feel hes trolling us 😂

When are coding videos coming!!
We love boredom 🙌
First comment. Nice video
