  • Creativity and Boredom

    July 16th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Does being bored actually help you be more creative? Here's some tips to make boredom work to your advantage:

    2. Decide beforehand when you're going to start work. If you wait until tomorrow to decide whether to start work in the morning or the afternoon, you give yourself an opportunity to procrastinate. But if you decide to start at 9am tomorrow, when 9am comes round you have a stark choice - do your work or break your promise.

    4. Prepare to be bored. Don't resist it. Sit there and experience it - notice how your body feels, what thoughts and temptations parade through your mind, and what emotions you experience. (A regular meditation practice can be enormously helpful here.) Get to know your boredom - when you really study it, can actually be quite interesting!

  • Tacos for Everyone!

    July 10th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Someone played a prank on an entire town in Alaska. They told the town they were getting a Taco Bell. How does Taco Bell respond? They airlift 10,000 tacos into the the city.

    This begs the question, did Taco Bell play the prank? or someone who just wanted one of those mouth watering Dorito Loco Tacos? You be the judge.
