Killing Time: The Science of Boredom in Kanopy
Boredom is anything but boring!
In our fast‑paced world of constant alerts and endless multitasking, stress and burnout are soaring. This film reveals a surprising solution we have been trying to eliminate: boredom. Far from being wasted time, boredom allows the brain to reset, spark creativity, sharpen focus, and foster deeper thinking. But balance is the key —too little leaves us overwhelmed, while too much can lead to “bore‑out”, a form of stress similar to burnout. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and psychology, this film challenges our fear of idleness and invites us to rethink productivity, slow down, disconnect, and rediscover the unexpected power of doing nothing.
