Be boring in order to find your focus from "summary" of Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon
To find your focus, you have to be boring. Being boring is the only way to get things done. You have to turn your back on a million things in order to get one thing done. You have to avoid distracting activities in order to focus on what truly matters. Being boring means that you have to say no to things that may seem exciting but ultimately derail you from your goals. You have to eliminate distractions and commit to a routine that may seem uneventful to others. It's about prioritizing your time and energy on what truly matters to you. By being boring, you create the space and time needed to cultivate your creativity. You allow yourself the opportunity to dive deep into your work without the constant interruptions of the outside world. This is where you find your focus and make meaningful progress towards your goals. In a world filled with constant stimulation and distractions, being boring is a radical act. It's about reclaiming your time and energy for what truly matters to you. By embracing boredom and simplicity, you can unlock your creativity and stay focused on what truly matters in your life and work.
