First things first, here is a link to Mannish Zomorodi's Ted Talk
(note - at least one curse word in the presentation)
Also, she wrote a book by the same title:  Bored and Brilliant

What do you think about when you hear the word BORED? Is that a bad thing? For some of us, it feels like a distant memory, something that had to be abandoned in adulthood. Something... bad. 

But if I asked about BRILLIANT, I suspect you'd have a better disposition. We've been watching Harry Potter movies as a family, so we've heard this word a lot. (British folks use it to describe pretty much anything awesome). But I think most of us would like to be more brilliant, imaginative, astute and... awesome. 

Today we will explore the connection between the two. We will see that down time, thinking time, and especially --- non cell phone time --- is the missing ingredient for lots of folks. Something as simple as a long shower, or a short walk can do wonders. This is part of working smarter, not harder. And I hope you find benefit for your everyday life.
