HODL'ing is underrated
Watching charts and Bitcoin news feeds is overrated

HODL'ing is not for a week or a month or even for 1 cycle,
HODL'ing is for the future.
HODL'ing requirements - zoom out and switch off the charts

2 ways to defeat boredom:
Short term - sell out and buy a lambo
Long term - focus on enriching your life with useful real world skills

There is also a matter of why you are holding bitcoin in the first place, there are people who buy with the hopes of selling once the is a slight increase in the price, for these people bitcoin staying within the same price range for a while, like maybe a couple of months will definitely lead to them getting bored and that boredom is a product of their initial motivations, it will be much harder for someone who's plan is to hold for as long as they need to bother with the price not moving too much within a particular period of time for them short term changes (or no changes) isn't what's going to move them.

We can't refer these people as hodlers, they are traders. Only traders buy bitcoin hoping to see a slight move up to sell.

This boring part is what makes bitcoin interesting. It makes hodling uncomfortable for people who can not endure. If holding was easy, everyone would be doing it and I guess you know what would happen if everyone decides to hold.

Real hodlers hold bitcoin on purpose. The initial plan was to hold it as long as possible. So 2-3 months shaky movement is basically nothing.

This is sadly most of the reasons why many people will never have a better life.
If you like preach till tomorrow, it's not their fault, they are not wired that way.

Parenting isn't just about teaching your children to be good in life, the discipline part is more crucial.
Parents have part of the problem too and they also raised their kids in same manner.

Get up in the morning and do the needful, it doesn't stop you from been happy, it makes you a stronger person.
The greatest enemies of progress is comfort zone.

The body needs rests as well but too much of it is bad.
It doesn't take very long before your body adapts to good or bad habits, it's on you to choose.

Discipline is the only way to make these right choices.
It will play a big role in your investment decisions and also what you choose to feed your mind.

Investment is investment because it doesn't yield instantly.
It yields with time and it's only a busy body that will be fine with investment while getting other things done.

Eat 5 Star and do nothing.

Not sure if anyone has seen this ad but it's quite popular in my country.
Jokes aside, the ability to hold without doing anything is truly what sets you aside from the others.
Agree with OP that we really need to keep ourselves busy in other things so that we can hold longer without selling for boredom.
It's quite simple yet harder and yet very profitable all at the same time.
