Check out how boredom creates new ideas, or shall we say creative ideas for the usual stuff

We’re trying to swipe and scroll the boredom away, but in doing that, we’re actually making ourselves more prone to boredom,

because every time we get our phone out we’re not allowing our mind to wander and to solve our own boredom problems.

Adding to that people can become addicted to the constant dopamine hit of new and novel content that phones provide.

Our tolerance for boredom just changes completely, and we need more and more to stop being bored.

Next time you find yourself in line at the grocery store, in a tedious meeting or killing time in a waiting room, resist the urge to scroll. You’re bound to get bored — and your brain, mood and work performance just might improve.
