Why Boredom Matters

In today’s fast-paced, distraction-filled world, boredom has become a rarity. We scroll, swipe, and binge-watch to avoid it at all costs. But Marty argues that boredom is a gift; a chance to let your mind wander, dream, and discover. It’s in those quiet moments, whether you’re stuck in traffic or folding laundry, that breakthroughs happen. And yes, even boredom at work can lead to unexpected creativity and clarity.


The BACON Acronym: Making Boredom Better

As always, Marty brings his signature BACON acronym to the table, proving that anything, even boredom can be made better with a little BACON.


  • B is for Breakthroughs: Ever had a brilliant idea in the shower or just before falling asleep? That’s boredom at work, giving your brain the space to connect the dots.

  • A is for Attention: Boredom forces us to slow down and notice the little things we often overlook. It’s a chance to be present and appreciate the moment.

  • C is for Creativity: When your mind isn’t bombarded with distractions, it has the freedom to explore new ideas and solve problems in unique ways.

  • O is for Observation and Self-Reflection: Boredom invites us to look inward, reflect on our lives, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

  • N is for Novelty Seeking: Tired of the same old routine? Boredom can be the nudge you need to try something new, whether it’s a hobby, a class, or a spontaneous adventure.

Embracing Boredom in a Distracted World

Marty and Tiffany share practical tips for embracing boredom and making it work for you. From scheduling “do-nothing” time to taking walks without a destination, they explore how to turn those dull moments into opportunities for growth and happiness. And yes, they even tackle the tough question: What do you do when boredom brings up negative thoughts? (Spoiler: It’s all about learning to let go and focus on what you can control.)


A Final Slice of BACON

As the episode wraps up, Marty reminds us that boredom isn’t about doing nothing; it’s about doing something differently. It’s about finding joy in the mundane, appreciating the in-between moments, and giving yourself permission to just be. And with a little BACON, even boredom can be delicious.
