How often do you just sit and do nothing? Not often, I bet. Even when we're not giving in to the relentless pressures of our increasingly productivity-obsessed world, you are swiping through newsfeeds, consuming content... or feeling guilty for not being productive (because, internalised capitalism). Yet, our brain needs downtime. We need rest, and we need some boredom sometimes, so we have some synapses available for our next stroke of genius.
