Yep, getting bored is important for creativity.

Kids these days have much less exposure to boredom. Anywhere you are, you can get lost in TikTok or other social media feeds in three seconds.

As a parent I struggle with this a lot, trying to teach some patience to my children who seem conditioned to fiddle with their phones whenever possible. And of course I'm often not much better myself.
