Title: Rawdogging marathons.
Age: In its therapeutic sense, model new.
Look: It doesn’t appear to be a lot, to be truthful.
I don’t even know what it’s. Initially, rawdogging was a slang time period for having intercourse with out a condom.
They’ve marathons for that? Over time, nonetheless, it has come to imply doing one thing apart from intercourse with out preparation, safety or distraction.
What sort of one thing different? Nearly something: taking an examination unprepared was rawdogging it; enduring a long-haul flight with none form of leisure was rawdogging it. Going out alone, or sober? Rawdogging.
So by extension, a rawdogging marathon have to be working a marathon unprepared. Individuals typically use the time period that approach, however that apply needs to be discouraged, and it’s not what we’re speaking about right here.
Nicely then – does a rawdogging marathon imply doing something for a very long time? No. It means doing nothing for a very long time.
I’m very confused. Particularly, it means sitting nonetheless and staring into area for an prolonged interval. Most significantly, with out your telephone.
Can I hearken to music? No.
Can I learn {a magazine}? No.
Can I be within the bathe, or in mattress? No.
Why not? Since you’re rawdogging!
How lengthy do I’ve to do it for? That’s as much as you. A “productiveness influencer” referred to as Rowan just lately filmed himself rawdogging for an hour day by day in a bid to enhance his consideration span.
What did he do with the footage? He posted it on TikTok.
In order that different individuals may watch him do nothing on their telephones? Don’t fear – he lower the hour right down to a 30-second timelapse to make it much less boring.
Simply so , the irony of that isn’t misplaced on me. What was the outcome? He discovered it helped his focus and his productiveness, and lots of of his followers have been impressed by his efforts.
It appears the TikTok era has one way or the other invented meditation. That’s one criticism levelled at rawdogging, however younger persons are battling monumental ranges of distraction nowadays: whereas older generations needed to study to tolerate boredom, they have to study to domesticate it.
Who desires to be bored, although? Many neuroscientists recommend that boredom isn’t solely good for you, it’s a essential stimulus required for inventive considering.
Do say: “An hour spent with out your telephone is rarely wasted.”
Don’t say: “Dude, simply completed a rawdogging marathon – no headphones, no water, no footwear. Out of hospital on Tuesday.”
