Why a creative mind can never be idle or bored
Being creative is a great thing, it's some kind of gift that some people have (and others have to gain it by changing their approach to reality). About me, I'm always writing, playing and composing music, trading crypto, developing code and in years I never had a second of bore or idleness.

Yes, sometimes I like being lazy and sometimes even ultra-lazy, but usually when I do, suddenly some idea comes into my mind and it means it's time to start creating again!
Things that can kill your creativity
- mainstream media
- conformism
- schools and universities
- education in general
- search for others' approval
What you can do to improve it
- try not to see things in the usual way
- read books and biographies about creative people
- practice a musical instrument
- meditate and empty your mind for a while
- try changing your routine
Being creative can be a huge tool to improve and revolutionize your whole life.

Additionally, living in an highly technological era, where most of the human work is replaced by robots, a creative person can be sure to always find a good niche.
For its nature, creativity is something which can be applied to any situation of human existence, will be never limited to one of them. It's a total different, fresh approach to everything, without exception!
So don't be afraid to be a little crazy or freaky and start acting and thinking creatively!
Thank you very much! I take this!
You're welcome!
Creativity is quite an anarchical standpoint on reality, so these are advices, not rules :)
I understand your point of view.
Thank you!
DOPE!!! Cheers from one creative person to another... May we never find peace and Idle

In theory!
Burn-out, lovesickness, feeling depri, too much longing that leads to ...
Not feeling satisfied with your creatif work, too much existentialism, an overly commercial world and the cashdrive not really helping.
Seen lot's of this among fellow creatives.
This is also true, creatives have some depressive / pessimistic moments too, I think it's typical.
But it's always worth to have a creative mind, I think.
I was in Junior High School I think the last time I was bored. I graduated from High School in 1989. In Junior High School my personal mantra for awhile was I'm at war with boredom. I won that war. I discovered pretty much the same thing you have. As long as my mind is active I truly am never bored. In fact, I have the opposite problem. I have far more things that I'd like to do than I have time to do.
Also for me school and university was a terrible boredom.
I think society uses boredom trying to kill your creativity and interest towards life, to make you more "productive".
useful thing! thanks! i'll think about what you write down more often :)
You're welcome!
