For many of us it’s a luxury just to get some uninterrupted private moments during the day when we can lean back and reflect. Yet those count as some of most valuable moments in our day, especially when it comes to creativity.
But there’s something more required of those associations are to bear fruit in a viable innovation:
– The right atmosphere. We need free time where we can sustain an open awareness.
The nonstop onslaught of email, tests, bills to pay – life’s “full catastrophe “ – throws is into a brain state antithetical to the open focus where serendipitous discoveries thrive.
That’s why we receive brilliant insights and intelligence during a walk or a bath, on a long ride or vacation. Open time let’s the creative spirit flourish; tight schedules kill it!
