Down Time = Incubation

incubation

The weather is warmer and projects are hot, hot, hot right now. Even so, I’ve ended up with some free time at the office. It feels good though, gives my brain time to incubate on some of the big  concepts I’ve been stewing on for some time but haven’t had the space to really consider.

A few great articles on incubation:

Incubation VS. Procrastination - Wishful Thinking

I’ll be exercising multiple principles from The 12 Brain Rules - Litemind

Daydreaming is allowed it turns out. - Lateral Action

So, let’s be honest. This seems like I’m rationalizing but I definitely find I perform better and am more excited about what I’m doing when I’ve had a little time to let my mind breath. Today is a good day for that.

It gave me time to write my third blog post. At this point, that’s a big deal.
