Quotes by Dan Lyons (?)

“Researchers have found that doing something boring makes people more creative. They suspect it might be because the brain, when bored, goes looking for things to do. It feels unsatisfied, so it goes into Search mode. Thanks to smartphones, we can keep ourselves from ever being bored. There’s always a distraction. But that distraction is unproductive. Our brains become occupied with empty activity, which leaves no room for daydreaming or creative thinking.”
― Dan Lyons, STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World

“it’s all about slowing down, speaking with intention, letting other people speak, asking good questions, and then really listening to the response.”
