Yesterday afternoon CBC Radio's topic was boredom. She wants me to give boredom a chance. I didn't get to listen to the pod cast with Sandi Mann so looked up the summary.
Mann's research has shown there's a direct relationship between boredom and creativity. "Boredom gets the creative juices flowing. And when we try to get rid of all our boredom, we're perhaps eliminating our creativity as well.
"When we allow ourselves space to be bored, our minds begin to daydream and that's when the creativity and eureka moments occur."
That's an ok article, but just below it is the strangely humorous headline.
"Woman with dementia accidentally given Pfizer vaccine after receiving Moderna dose."
The article goes on to explain that's because she was transferred to a different long-term care home.
It gave rise to worries that would bring this headline back to life:
"Miracle cure kills fifth patient"
Once you are looking at these headlines, you just have to continue scrolling through - they are so funny!
