Why Boredom is Good For You

Description :

Boredom makes you more creative, altruistic, introspective, and helps with autobiographical planning. I feel like this video might come across as condescending but the person I'm really talking to is myself. Despite the fact that I know how useful it can be to be bored, I still find myself trying to fill every last moment with stimulus. Boredom is unpleasant—the open, unstructured thinking that can take place can also feel pointless. But now I'm making this video to remind myself how important boredom is so hopefully I'll make more time to be bored.
