Brilliance is predictable Ideas seem to spark when we least expect it, such as while walking the dog or brushing our teeth. That’s the default mode at work; when our body is at rest, or doing a menial task, our mind is at its busiest. By building our capacity for boredom, instead of trying to escape it, we can give brilliance an opportunity to flash more often (with the added perk of getting the laundry done).
