You scan your to-do list.

  1. You see tedious tasks.
  2. You're bored.
  3. You want the weekend.
  4. You want football.
  5. You want friends.
  6. You're bored.

Yeah, so we hear you askin':

"How in the mother-!@#$% can I make my mother-!@#$% DAY a little less mother-!@#$% boring?"

Well, hold on there, buddy. We'll show you how!

The Remedy

Three prep steps:

  1. Describe the happiest feeling you've ever experienced: ____.
  2. Scratch your to-do lists for the day.
  3. Get ready to manipulate your brain to experience #1's effect.

"Can I make work like sex?"

Kablingo! You can. Here's how:

  1. Pick a goal.
  2. Pick a bigger goal.
  3. Pick a much bigger goal.
  4. Pick something that will rock the world and its mama.
  5. Place that on your to-do list for the day.

Yeah, that's right. Complete the mother-!@#$% by today.

Humans thrive on meaningful work.

  • That's how our ancestors built rich societies.
  • That's how we landed humans on the frickin' moon.
  • That's how we built civilized societies that keeps on tickin'.
  • That's how we viciously demolished infectious diseases from robbing our families.

We're built to do something totally fabulous.

That's how our brains get our happy highs.

We crave meaningful work, but most of us don't know it.

And that's why we're bored.

Don't be bored.

Do something fabulous.

I totally agree that "we are built to do something totally fabulous". It's a matter of how you act on it and the goals you choose. Just try to do things in your own unique way, give it a little spice and twist and you'll can make a difference.

I hope at the top of YOUR to-do list is "write a mother-!@#$% book!"
You have a brilliant style and delivery with high impact content...Dude, write the book. We'll buy it and we won't be bored.
