Beverly Hills, California - October 7, 2025 - In his recent feature, “Discipline, Boredom, and Breakthroughs: A Conversation with Armik Aghakhani,” Aghakhani challenges conventional ideas of productivity and urges people to adopt small, daily practices that can have a lasting impact on both personal and professional growth.
At a time when distraction is at an all-time high—Americans check their phones 352 times a day on average (Asurion, 2022)—Armik argues that the antidote to overwhelm isn’t more hustle, but intentional habits. “Every night, I write down three priorities for the next day,” he explains. “Crossing them off creates momentum that carries into everything else.”
One of the most striking lessons Armik shares is the importance of boredom. While most people fear empty space in their schedules, he views it as a source of creativity. “Boredom is underrated,” he says. “When you stop filling every minute with noise, you leave room for your best ideas to surface.” Research backs this up: a study from the University of Central Lancashire found that people who engaged in boring tasks generated more creative solutions afterward compared to those who didn’t.
Armik also emphasizes the value of learning from failure. Early in his career, he pushed forward a project without team buy-in. It collapsed. “The idea wasn’t the problem—the execution was. I learned that alignment matters as much as vision,” he reflects.
A Call to Action
Instead of promoting tools or quick fixes, Armik wants people to focus on what they can do for themselves:
-
Set three clear goals for tomorrow before going to bed.
-
Allow 20 minutes of “boredom time” each day—no screens, no distractions.
-
Review failures not as dead ends but as data for future growth.
-
Move your body when focus slips—walk, stretch, or step away from the desk.
“True progress doesn’t come from massive leaps,” Armik reminds us. “It comes from small, consistent steps, repeated daily.”
By rethinking what productivity looks like and giving space to reflection, anyone can unlock the breakthroughs that drive both personal and professional success.
