In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Ironically I couldn't watch this video because it was so boring
whats this abooot?
No human is boring. Everyone has his own qualities
"We're afraid of making the wrong choice and sometimes we're so afraid that we don't make any choices at all."
Life is boring when you don't have money to travel a lot, meet new people and hang out with your friends, then you have to work hard to pay for your school.
This dude really brought what the title promised.
No TED Talk is complete without paying homage to Steve Jobs in some way or another.
The habits of a boring person is surfing youtube and watching this video.
This may be the most important talk on the Internet. At least for people to whom this would be the most important talk.
going with your gut isnt about running or foolishly jumping into everything. its just about judging things based on feeling instead of always thinking. or confronting what you feel, dealing with being in the moment of experience instead of thinking and reasoning through everything. there is a need for both. whats foolish is total denial of gut feelings or total reliance on logical decision making. this guy doesnt know what hes talking about.
Here's the summary of this video as I understand it: 1. Write things down because otherwise you'll forget.
I enjoyed this video. A week ago I was told I was boring, because I like to stay home and read a book than go out on the town. I thought about it, this year it wad a goal of mine to become financially healthy, I started writing down goals and dreams. I rid my life of things and people that weren't working in my life anymore. I have been making some noticeable changes in my life. I picked to watch this video today. I watch Ted videos everyday, it is part of my boringness, I can now appreciate how truly boring being Boring is. I know in one year from now I will have accomplished more goals than the last 5 years put together. And the onlookers can call me boring, ill take it as a compliment.
1. Write things down
These are actually some really great tools for reducing your mental load, and therefore giving yourself the mental space you need to really be present and focused in whatever you're doing. It's pretty basic, and
You can automate things without losing variety.
Boredom and narcissism are strong in this speech.
Thanks you Mister! Please don't believe the few comments i glanced at ... because indeed I'm sure this one of the most effective Ted- or even one of the most effective talks I've ever heard. I've been painting and listening to Ted for 5 hours straight (ok, had a few short breaks in listening, I'm no machine) now, and had just been forming the opinion that the overwhelming majority of talkers never get over presenting the problem ... never getting to give a tangible answer. Well this guy does everything in an incredibly compact way, coherently, smoothly. Interesting exposition, presenting of needs, facts, ways to accomplish. I did hear it twice, but not for better understanding, just to learn it by heart (grin) without having to write it down.
I like it! One "boring" habit I've developed to help with that "decision fatigue" issue is outlining my daily plan the night before - right down to the hour. I don't always stick to it perfectly; sometimes I'll swap stuff for other tasks, block off time to fit in leisure or socializing, or have to deal with unforeseen circumstances. But even just having a guideline cuts down on having to brain calculate what I'm going to do when, and how I'll possibly fit everything into one day.
It amazes me how many people found this speech, and the person giving it, boring. I thought he presented his ideas well and I agree with most of it. "Boring" is subjective, after all, so I guess people who don't really understand the subject material will find it "boring". I love psychology, so speeches like this fascinate me. :)
I totally get it. Why waste your time doing things that don't make you happy or don't progress any aspect of you. For example, I hate going to shopping malls to look for clothes and getting my hair done constantly. I like a certain style and only a few hairstyles... I'm boring in that perspective and don't care. I rather spend my time more wisely doing things that would truly make me happy.
