In this day and age, we barely have time to be bored, what with the endless stream of notifications coming from our smartphones, music, TV shows, games, work and social media all demanding our attention around the clock.

Our brains have become addicted to constant stimulation. And as a result, doing nothing has become almost unbearable. But there are actually benefits to getting bored, which is what we’re going to talk about today.

Why do we so hate being bored? If it’s so unpleasant then, why should we let ourselves get bored? What’s the “right” way of getting bored then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
