A list of activities that should be extremely boring.

There are events in life that you likely prefer were the most boring experiences ever. Airplane flights;Train travel;Driving on the Palmetto Expressway (or any highway);Dentist appointments;Doctor visits;Hearing about your bloodwork;Visits with your mother (I love you, mom!);Visits with your mother in-law (just kidding);Law enforcement stopping you on the expressway for speeding;Your performance review (you already know you’re awesome!);An encounter with a human-eating large mammal…I’m sure there’s lots more… Interestingly… I had to get bored to think about this list. Okay, that’s enough, back to work. Enjoy your day.People Managers: encourage your teams to get bored during the day especially if they are doing creative work. In our boredom, our brains start to create connections ad genius is born.
