I have just met a post somewhere that she has a new endeavour to look forward. It was like me when I had my first job. I also feel the same when I went to my high school and college. There was this feel of excitement. This feeling to want to kick some legs. Especially when you are in your first day of classes. But from time to time, you got that feeling of boredom. What was once exciting doesn't interest you anymore.
I later on realized that there are some factors which really caused our boredom, here, it is always good to cope with them to get rid of that boredom
1. Mastered Task
usually, those things we do without any thinking at all can lead us to boredom. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that we are counting the seconds and our attention turns to being aware of the time than on what we do.
Perhaps, I would say that it is always good to look for better challenges in your task. In this way, you will be concentrating more on the task at hand and forget about time. When you think of how time passes by, for sure, you are suffering boredom syndrome.
2. Repetitive Failures
Most people could not admit the fact that there are some things which they are not made for. Usually, it is the lack of the knowledge of our self and limitation that we seems to ignore. The more we fail, the more we tend to alienate ourselves from the task in hand and the more we deprive ourself with self worth. Usually, when we find our self not worthy to do any task,it left us thinking that we are impotent and could lead to further boredom because we will be doing things in the same way.
Knowing our limitations and our strategies could be one way of doing away with boredom. May be something which works before could not work in the next level. Always make some deviation in your strategy. In this way, you will learn that there are many ways to work out for your goal.
3. Comfort Zones
Perhaps, the best reason why we do not like to go forward is that we are already contented with what we have. Then, we will envy those who are greater than us. However, since we do not have the courage to go out from our comfort zones, we tend to lurk on it and spend all our moments blaming ourselves.
It is always best to get out from our comfort zones and try to think that the world is changing. Most often, this is always the case that most people would not dare to go out because they might fall. That was the people before Columbus reached the New World and succeeded in his quest. Perhaps, we must be Columbus in some situation in order to scale that great heights which can catapult us into success.
4.Lack of Praise
Most people would find some endeavor boring is that they felt unrewarded or they felt that their efforts are not recognized. If you think those people around you are ungrateful, then perhaps, it is always good to ask them for your reward. If you think they do not deserve it, then, you should part ways with them. in this way, they will feel your presence. Always look for a company which will recognize your efforts.
5. Lack of Creativity
Perhaps, this is the final blow to boredom. If you think that you are doing the same thing. Try to think of new ways of going over your endeavour. in this way, you will never find yourself in the road to boredom. Only those who have scaled the heights and who have braved the seas had brought home treasures. Although it might be very risky in your part, but always make some calculated risk in your creativity.

Good for you that you know all these tips to avoid boredom. As for myself, some of what you said is true. For example the comfort zone. I am too comfortable being in my comfort zone, until I am afraid to step out of it. I know if I dare to step out, there are many opportunities awaiting me out there. It is just that courage had not won my heart yet. I am still collecting my courage, though, and waiting for the suitable moment to plunge forward.

Hi,
It is good to hear that from you. Well, it is not bad if you will try to regain yourself because we really need that strength and courage to go ahead. As long as we will have that courage to go through and that we have the vision to move forward, we will always find our way through.
