We fill every spare moment with social media, games, or streaming content. However, recent psychological research suggests that boredom might actually be beneficial for creativity and mental health. Dr. Sandi Mann, a psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire, has studied boredom extensively. Her experiments show that people who perform boring tasks (like copying numbers from a phone book) later perform better on creative tests than those who did more engaging activities first. "Boredom gives the mind space to wander," she explains. "This wandering, called the 'default mode network' in neuroscience, is when we make unexpected connections and have creative insights." Historically, many great discoveries occurred during "bored" moments. Isaac Newton developed his theory of gravity while sitting in an orchard, supposedly bored. Similarly, J.K. Rowling conceived the Harry Potter series during a delayed train journey when she had nothing to do but think. Boredom also teaches valuable life skills. When children experience boredom, they learn to entertain themselves, developing imagination and problem-solving abilities. Adults who can tolerate boredom tend to have better emotional regulation and are less likely to engage in impulsive behaviors just to escape discomfort. However, not all boredom is equal. Researchers distinguish between "calibrating boredom" (mild dissatisfaction that motivates positive change) and "apathetic boredom" (more severe disengagement). The former can be productive; the latter may signal deeper issues like depression. To harness boredom's benefits, experts recommend occasionally disconnecting from digital distractions and allowing time for unstructured thinking. This doesn't mean doing nothing—rather, engaging in simple activities like walking, daydreaming, or mundane tasks that free the mind for creative wandering. In our productivity-obsessed culture, embracing boredom might seem counterintuitive. Yet, by allowing ourselves moments of "productive boredom," we might discover that some of our best ideas emerge not in focused work periods but in the quiet spaces between them.
