A few interesting facts

Boredom can actually boost creativity

Psychologists studying boredom have found that letting your mind wander during a dull moment — rather than immediately reaching for a phone — often leads to more creative ideas afterward. A random activity idea is one easy way to interrupt that wandering with a small, concrete action.

A lot of famous quotes were never actually said by who you think

Many widely shared quotes credited to Einstein, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln and others were never actually said or written by them — they were coined later and the attribution stuck. It's always worth a quick check before quoting someone in something important.

Small tasks build momentum

A well-known technique in behavioural psychology is to pick a tiny, low-effort task when you're stuck or unmotivated — finishing even a small activity creates a sense of progress that makes the next task easier to start.

A short break can reset your focus

Stepping away for a quick, unrelated activity — even for a few minutes — is a common recommendation for regaining focus during a long work or study session, rather than pushing through fatigue.
