    Podcast Summary

    • Embrace boredom for creativityTaking breaks, allowing boredom, and getting enough sleep can lead to increased creativity and productivity.

      Allowing ourselves to experience boredom and giving our brains a chance to rest can lead to creative ideas and inspiration. It's easy to get caught up in the constant stimulation of technology and entertainment, but taking a break and letting our minds wander can be incredibly beneficial. As Kate Cocker from the Volley network shared, even taking a holiday can lead to a surge in creative ideas. So, next time you find yourself feeling bored or restless, try embracing the moment and see what comes to mind. Remember, sometimes the best ideas come when we least expect them. Additionally, getting enough sleep is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. If you're having trouble sleeping, consider trying out the "guided sleep" skill on Amazon Echo for some relaxation and guidance. Overall, taking time for rest and allowing ourselves to be bored can lead to unexpected creativity and productivity. So, take a break, let your mind wander, and see what great things come your way.

    Arianna Huffington and Claudia Fleming on De-stressing

    In this episode of Add Passion and Stir from early 2019, Thrive Global Founder and CEO Arianna Huffington and renowned pastry chef and North Fork Table and Inn owner Claudia Fleming discuss a topic very relevant today: the effects of stress and exhaustion on creativity, productivity and health. “For all of us, what moves the needle, whether it’s in a non-profit or for-profit business, are creative ideas. They are the first to be sacrificed when we are exhausted… If your life is just about productivity and there is no joy, there is something wrong,” explains Huffington. Fleming uses her influence as a chef to effect change. “Food is politics. You can’t get away from the fact that agribusiness runs a good portion of our government. I think there’s no greater way to effect change than by bringing people together. As chefs, we do that,” she explains.
