According to many brain imaging studies, when feeling bored, the DMN areas of our brain are activated.
Increased DMN activity helps to boost the formation of new ideas through linking lines of existing information - one of the important ingredients of creative thinking.
But when we actively try to avoid boredom with distractions and stimulations like a quick scroll through Instagram or completing a level of Candy Crush, we are actually wasting those creative moments in reactive action.

Many of us find our sparks of genius when doing benign tasks – like folding the laundry, or when we are unable to be stimulated by digital rings, dings, and pings like in the shower.
Studies propose giving the brain a short break from stimulation and a chance to turn inward via DMN activation because an activated DMN enhances our ability to come up with new ideas.
Boredom activates the DMN areas of our brain. It's a state more likely to induce "seeking" or "approach" behaviors.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
