How easy life would be if what we did requires little or thinking. Such non-thinking acts of interest are defined as being "No Brainers." For example, you are a sports fan so when tickets are sold to see your favorite sports team in action it is a "no brainer" for you to buy a ticket for that particular event.

Things that you do on a regular basis that keep you healthy and alive are also "no brainers." You have to pay your rent. You have to pay your utility expenses. You have to feed yourself so you buy food that you can afford to purchase. You have to earn a living so you are employed by an employer or you are self-employed.

Those of you who are currently unemployed are actively seeking some kind of employment so you not end up on the street with nothing to eat. Some people might become criminals without a single thought of the consequences that are associated with the commission of illegal acts.

You love your girlfriend or your boyfriend so it is perfectly natural for you to impulsively kiss that individual without giving that action a second thought. For a sexual encounter, that might require a great deal of planning for such an event, but all of the while, doing so is truly a "no brainer" event for you. 

Getting into your mode of transportation or using public transportation in order to go to work requires no thinking because you have to do it. However, if your usual mode of transportation is not available for one reason or another thinking might be required to find another way in which to get to work and home again.

Getting dressed each day is a must. Then again, you have to decide what you will wear for that particular day, but getting dressed for work is something that you do all of the time. The act of dressing is a "no brainer." So too, if you do the same things each day there is little or nothing for you to think about. That is, if you do not think about a trip to a far away place, romance or those other things that you would like to do that are not a part of your daily routine.

If you are bored with your life it is wise to change your behavior one way or another. For some it is easy to try a different way of doing things or simply do something different. For those who are truly bored and/or depressed it is truly a "no brainer" to want to take steps to improve one's life.
