When you're bored

Come to think of it, boredom is the cradle of creativity and productivity.

We always complain about being bored. Something likes: It's boring here at my town, I can't wait for the day I get out of it; or I've literally gone through hell having to watch that bore of a film with my grandmother. More often than not, we try to break free from dullness by doing something, anything. That's why I think boredom gives birth to creative ideas and productive works and thus, we should give it credit rather than whining about having nothing to do all the time. This is not you being bored, it's you being lazy. So the next time when you feel bored, you know that something good is about to be created, by no other than you.

This idea is not something I have pondered on for a long time. A couple of minutes ago, I was bored. Then I came across this site, a seemingly perfect place for me to rant about my tedious life. So that is it for this first entry of mine on this site: nothing profoundly meaningful but just what I suddenly come up with when I have nothing else to do after work.

Cheers.

Corrections

More often than not, we try to break free from dullness by doing something, .. anything.

can do the eclipsis here to show the pause between the two words. Or say 'we try to break free from the dullness by just doing something' (you could put 'something' into italics).

Something likes: I "it's boring here at my town, " "I can't wait for the day I get out of it;," or "I've literally gone through hell having to watch that bore of a film with my grandmother."

Very well written. The grammar looks very good!

When youWe're bBored

Because most of the article is written in the first person plural ("we"), its title should reflect that, in addition to being capitalized.

Come toIf we really think ofabout it, boredom is the cradle of creativity and productivity.

"Come to think of it" would normaly be used directly after another sentence or phrase, to indicate that what comes next draws upon or links back to the previous thought. At the beginning of a paragraph, an expression such as, "If we (really) think about it" better sets the stage for the whole text.

SomeWe think things like this: It's boring here atin my town, -- I can't wait foruntil the day I get out of it; or I've literally gone through hell having to watch that bore of a film with my grandmother.

This construction seems a bit more natural to me.

Because the dullness here is being described and thus is a specific dullness, use of a direct article sounds more natural.

That's why I think boredom gives birth to creative ideas and productive works and thus,. I believe we should give it credit rather than whining about having nothing to do all the time.

This sentence was just a little long. This is a stylistic choice really, though I found breaking it into two sentences made it a bit easier to follow.

This is not you being bored,; it's you being lazy.

So the next time when you feel bored, you know that something good is about to be created, by none other than you.


"Next time when" sounded a little redundant. "No" i this stance should be "none," or else it could be constructed as "no one but you."

This idea is not something I have pondered on for a long time.

A couple of minutes ago, I was bored.

It's fine and correct to include the "of," but very often it would be omitted in an instance like this, especially in casual text. With the "of," it comes across as a little more formal and professional. Just thought I'd point that out so you can see the difference.

So that is it for thismy first entry of mine on this site:; nothing profoundly meaningful, but just what I suddenly come up with when I have nothing else to do after work.


Just made this a little less wordy.

All in all, you did very well! I'm impressed. Most of what I changed were minor mistakes, or not necessarily even mistakes but simply suggestions on how things could sound more natural and ffluid. Good job!
