I have one advice for you: master the art of the boredom state. In Pakistan, women are often experts in this. Imagine it's a winter night and you have to wash dishes with your hands in cold weather or wash clothes. Even with warm water, it's not easy. The art is about getting the job done when you don't feel like doing it.
Another main point of the boredom state is that, at some point, it becomes a passive task while you are actively thinking about something else.
Now imagine you have an office job. You’re stuck on a problem, and then later you’re washing dishes in that extreme boredom state, and suddenly, tada, you find the solution to the problem you were struggling with in the office for days.
One exercise to practice this is to take part in boring conversations. You often don’t feel like doing something but still do it to make others feel happy. Do you know that when we are helping others, we are actually helping ourselves? It took me a while to reach these conclusions.
I also watch YouTube boring videos where one person is just talking about a real-life event from their life. Nothing fancy, no fancy lights, no fancy editing.
Hopefully this helps you overcome your life challenges.

Hi! I hadn't heard of mastering boredom. It seems like a really interesting tool, and I try to imagine the conditions the people who came up with it went through to validate it—a tremendous exercise in self-control. I think in the modern world we lack the ability to cope with boredom, given the constant stimulation we're bombarded with. Thanks so much for the tip!
