“If you’re a creative, you’re never not working, because there are always problems you are trying to solve. We filter though the problems that we’re processing and are at an impasse with,” says productivity expert and acclaimed author Chris Bailey. Ideas, he believes, come not just from our external environment like a book that helps us solve the very problem we’ve been mulling over, but also from our own wandering mind. Thinking, therefore, is work; it is not niksen.
