The Death of Hanging Around (How modern life optimized boredom, replaced discovery, and quietly flattened creativity)

from The Quiet Quotient · host Jim Hansen

Good writing rarely arrives while staring directly at the document. Writing comes from texture. Strange conversations overheard at a gas station. Walking through a neighborhood at dusk. Sitting in a parking lot after buying nothing from Target. A friend telling a story badly for twenty minutes. Boredom creates tiny openings where ideas drift in accidentally.
