Paula Bernstein
I have two tools for that. One is boredom and the other is my subconscious mind. I've always found that boredom is the wellspring of creativity for me. If I'm in the passenger seat of a car on a long drive, and I can't read, my mind starts working on my next chapter. My subconscious does the same when I sleep. I confess that most of the complex mathematical equations in my PhD thesis were solved while I was sleeping. I just had to remember to write down the solutions in the morning.
