Nice article, Chris. Very helpful info on creativity. Trick the mind. Something I do is use a mind machine to entrain the brain into a creative state. (ok, that is kind of cheating! LOL!)

I love this post it is right up my alley.

I set aside time twice a day to visualize, I start my day off with a 30 to 60 minute visualization session and if I get to work right afterwards my creative juices just flow. I could spend 3 hours staring at my screen and accomplish nothing because my mind is scattered with thoughts but if I just take a 15 minute visualization break it clears my mind and I can get back to work.

The bad part of my plan is that I get to darn stubborn midday to actually take the time and work the plan. I always feel as though I have to get so much done during the day so in the moment I am not rational, however I can always look back and say; “why the heck don’t you just take the 15 minutes?”

I frustrate myself :)
Great Post!

“It’s a place where you are literally thinking less and accomplishing more”

God! what a great place to be in! This is where I’m trying to go for several months now. Every morning I feel like I have what it takes to achieve all my goals then I open my laptop and the exact opposite of what I quoted above happens “More thinking and less accomplishing”.

It looks like it’s not just me who having this problem but I guess who were able to solve it, are flying right now achieving their goals one after another.

This article and comments made me think of a great Don Draper line:

“Peggy, just think about it deeply, then forget it, and an idea will jump up in your face”

It works

i am a programmer. i don’t have a history of creativity. once i was confronted with a complex problem which i could not figure out like other tasks i have done. for some reason i felt i needed to lay in bed, lay still, and empty my mind. the code came into my vision all of a sudden. i let my brain run free without constraints. it decided to tackle the problem. i have never had more memory capacity before or after that day. 45 minutes of barely conscience calculations and i solved my problem. i remember it vividly and it is unlike anything i have ever experienced.
