Transform your boredness into productivity

We've all heard that a little boredom can be good for us—it's our body and mind's way of saying, "Take a break!" But what about when you're overbored? For me, that's a red line I refuse to cross.

When I hit that wall of boredom, I often find myself mindlessly watching TV or scrolling through endless Instagram and Facebook reels.

Sure, I enjoy the occasional pastry baking video, but my only tangible result so far has been one lonely cake!

But what about those times when boredom turns into over-boredom? That's when I choose to get proactive.

Here’s how I’ve turned my downtime into valuable achievements:

• Earned an Executive MBA in FM from Sheffield Hallam University:

  A rigorous 3-year program that was well worth the time and effort investment.

• Learned Power BI:

  A powerful tool that has significantly enhanced my data analysis skills.

• Mastered MS. SharePoint, Power Apps, and Power Automate by following tutorials on YouTube: Creating workflows and streamlining processes.

• Started Chinese Classes: Although I had to pause, it was an enriching experience.

• Completed a 6-Week Training with Shadé Zahrai MBA LLB : If you haven't heard of Shadé, do yourself a favor and check out her impactful videos!

• Currently pursuing the Sustainability Facility Professional Credential from IFMA: Diving into this certification to expand my expertise.

• Reading Enriching Articles on LinkedIn: I’ve gained so much from insightful posts shared by others, especially those by Denis Sorin. Kudos to Denis for consistently posting such enriching content!

Next time you feel overbored, transform your boredness into productivity, see it as an opportunity to invest in yourself.

Turn that unproductive time into a journey of growth and learning. 🌱🚀
