You are suppose to be bored

Let’s Dive In!

Humans are supposed to be bored

We are filled with things that could cure our boredom.

Just one click from your phone and videos on social media can entertain you.

Open the Television and you can watch TV programs that suit your liking.

But did you know that we NEED boredom to be creative?

Just think about the pandemic for a second, the Covid 19 that happened in around 2019.

People are locked in their homes and the only thing that could entertain them are their screens.

Eventually, many people started creating their own TikTok videos or other social media accounts.

The reason? They. Are. Bored. They couldn’t interact with their friends physically. So they started to create something. That is one of the ways creativity is born

Another example is that, think about a subject in your school that is SOOO boring that you want to get out of your chair rather than listen to that teacher talk.

You look around and you see one of your classmate drawing something at the back of their notebook.

Maybe you are that classmate.

Since you can’t just rudely get out of your chair while that teacher is still talking, you find yourself doing something else than listening to that teacher.

This doesn’t only happen in modern times like this. Think about the famous painters in the past like Leonardo de Vinci.

Do you think if TikTok and Instagram existed in that time period, Di Vinci would have a time to paint the Monalisa?

Do you think that they would rather paint a hard painting when they could have just scrolled to cure their boredom?

It’s not like I am telling you that they just did that out of boredom. But there is a possibility that they did.

What are the creative things that you did when you were bored?

When your phone is charging, what are the things that you did in that span of time to wait for your phone to charge?

I made this newsletter out of boredom.

I made a blog out of boredom.

I made a ghostwriting service because I am partly bored and want some money.

I made a DIY craft I saw on 5 Minutes Craft because I am bored and because why not?

What are the things that you did when you were bored during the pandemic?
