How I Would Use This
When your mind is under great stress it seeks the simplest, most obvious solutions. This makes me think that working under stress may not help us be our most creative. So sit back, have a glass of wine, put the problem you are dealing with on the back burner and let your mind go. Now the answer of solution has a chance of coming forth from the fertile fields of your brain and not from the barren landscape that stress creates.

"Just as a dog guards a bone safely between its paws when not actively chewing it, creative people nurture an idea even when not actively thinking about it… Creativity does not result from mysterious visions that come in dreams, or from fortuitous circumstances. Creativity and persistence are synonymous. Constantly thinking about the problem, consciously and unconsciously, maximizes the possibility that a chance occurrence is likely to be useful in solving it." – Dr. Richard Cytowic, neurologist
