Why being bored is stimulating

Boredom is one of the best ways to stimulate your brain.

There are a lot of ways to stimulate your brain, from crossword puzzles to Sudoku. But sometimes, it’s not so much about what you do, but how you do it. That’s because boredom can be a great way to get your brain working.

The key is in how boredom stimulates the brain – through an increase in creativity and productivity. This can be achieved by doing something simple like sitting in silence for ten minutes. When you force yourself to focus on nothingness, your mind will start looking for something else to do. You might start daydreaming or thinking about things that are happening around you.

This is when boredom starts stimulating the brain – and as a result, helps you become more creative and productive.
