Embrace boredom to tap into creativity

 

Millions of entrepreneurs, scientists, and bored people all are using the lockdown as a time to tap into their creativity to seek opportunities on solutions to projects they working on before the coronavirus pandemic took over. Scientists all over the world are raking their brains to find a vaccine for coronavirus.

A slower pace of life and learning to love boredom could not only lead to an explosion of people writing and painting masterpieces and also thinking of creative solutions to work problems. Boredom is indeed one of the most creative forces- there are benefits to doing nothing. You start thinking in novel and production ways and get through pain barriers and discover hour creativity that is waiting to emerge.

Rajan, a woodworker, from Edathanattukara  Chirattakkulam, Kerala, India, designed and manufactured a makeshift lift all by himself during coronavirus lockdown.

Rajan decided to make a lift to carry the wood easily to the top floor by using lift gear, HP motor, left and right switches, angler, and metal rod, and completed the lift within two days. The lift can be operated using electricity and is capable of carrying up to one-tonne weight costing around £130. Kone, Schindler and Otis please watch out!
