Creative Problem Solving

How long does it take to come up with a solution to a creative problem? Well perhaps I should say; 'how long is a piece of string?'... But one thing I have learned is that banging your head on a brick wall seldom accomplishes anything. So my advice is to go for a walk, have a cup of tea, go to the gym, watch TV, in fact; anything that will take your mind off the problem for the time being.

What I always find is that a little time away from the problem allows the subconscious mind to work on the solution in the background. Then suddenly as if from nowhere the answer 'pops up' into my mind. Easy! If you're in the UK and you want to find more info about Creative Problem Solving take a look at Gareth Morris Associates >>

I've also become a big fan of Tony Buzan's Mind Maps too. But more of that another time...
