Onur Cobanli explains:
The state of being bored is a great motivator to get you creative, being bored literally pushes you to become creative, because your brain cannot simply idle; it needs to work, it needs to think, and when the current subject is boring, it will think something new, it will think something interesting, it will get creative. The best fuel for creativity is boredom. You get creative and imaginative when you get bored. Creativity and imagination fills bored minds.
