How boredom can lead to your most brilliant ideas | Manoush Zomorodi | TED Talk

The TED Talk “How boredom can lead to your most brilliant ideas” with journalist Manoush Zomorodi explains the connection between spacing out and creativity, using neuroscience and stories from her own experience and others. Do you sometimes have your most creative ideas while folding laundry, washing dishes or doing nothing in particular? To help viewers understand how and why creativity is developed when we’re seemingly doing nothing at all, Zomorodi explains how when your body goes on autopilot, your brain gets busy forming new neural connections that connect ideas and solve problems. This TED Talk also discusses how our phones are distracting us from our productivity and goals, to help viewers develop better time management at work and beyond.
