How would you feel if someone told you that you needed to sit silently in a chair and not use your phone for 30 minutes? To just sit there and “ think “? I expect that like many people, you would probably think that you would be bored out of your mind. Being bored has numerous benefits. It can give you time to allow your mind to wander, and make you more creative.

If you want something done, give it to a busy person. I remember this quote from my childhood, and it is meant to show that people who work the hardest are likely to be the ones who are best able to complete additional hard tasks. Since then, there has been an explosion of the productivity culture , where people often work incredibly long hours to show how busy they are and to achieve as much as possible.

When was the last time you were satisfied with your health care? For the majority of Americans, it seems to have been a while. A recent Associated Press survey found that most Americans think that health care in this country is handled poorly. Only 12% of respondents are extremely happy with the state of US health care. This is relatively unsurprising; between rising health care costs and comparatively poor health outcomes , it’s easy to understand people’s dissatisfaction. .
