The Gift of Boredom

We have engineered boredom out of our days. A screen in every pocket, a notification for every silence. What we have lost is the strange creative space that only opens when nothing is happening.

Children draw, invent, and dream most freely when they are bored. Adults are no different — we have just forgotten.

Leave a few cracks in your day where nothing is scheduled and no screen is invited. The good ideas are waiting in those cracks.
