Boredom is a universal human experience. It creeps in during long waits, repetitive tasks, or quiet moments when nothing seems to capture our attention. While many see it as negative or unproductive, boredom is more than just “having nothing to do.” It’s a signal from the mind , a restless nudge that what we’re engaged in lacks meaning, challenge, or stimulation. Far from being useless, boredom has the potential to open doors to creativity, reflection, and personal growth.
