Ep. 2 - Boredom Isn't A Thing

Ep. 2 - Boredom Isn't A Thing

In this episode, during the trying times of the virus outbreak and having to be isolated, we often claim we are "bored" with "nothing to do" which is false.  Saying you're bored is a false statement.  There's always something to do, you just don't want to do it.  So let's get up and do stuff!  Make a routine!  Make a fun to do list!  Hype yourself up with accomplishing that!  -Thanks for listening!
