Paying attention to details to fight boredom and increase productivity

Packing my violin notebook in my bag, a student came in ready to have half an hour session of violin tutorial, tutor and student started to discuss how last week practice went.

the tutor asked:  'how is the practice going?,

the student answered: 'it is ok but it was becoming boring'.

The tutor responded 'this is interesting, it will be worth contemplating this feeling and pay more attention to details to move through it'.

It resonated.

I started to think about all the tasks that I find boring and wonder if there were some details I could put attention to keep the momentum and thirst for learning more.

What started like a small thoughts became a Ahaha moment. The following day became highlgy productive. I gamified details, obtained new insights and time flew.

Could it help you too?

In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?'  At least, you will connect mo...
