The Futur with Chris Do228 - Boredom is the key to creativity (Part 2)In Part 1 of this series, we established that boredom is the precursor to creativity.

And why do we associate it with laziness? In Part 2 of this series, we try to make sense of why boredom has such a bad reputation, or if it’s just a matter of semantics.
