Wasting Time Creatively

"For creativity, what you really need is looser, less focused thinking - and that seems to come with slight engagement in an undemanding task."
This is backed by a brand-new study presented by Jihae Shin and Adam Grant where their results showed that people who took a few short breaks tended to come up with far more creative ideas than low- and high- procrastinators.
Thus strengthening the idea that moderate levels of distraction can unleash innovative thinking.

Productive Procrastination

There's strong evidence that creative insights need time to percolate – and that the right amount of distraction may be key to innovation.

Bestselling author and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail us at work and in life.Do you ever find that you are not the patient, compassionate problem solver you believe yourself to be? Are you surprised at how irritated or flustered the normally unflappable you becomes in the presence of a specific colleague at work? Have you ever felt your temper accelerate from zero to sixty when another driver cuts you off in traffic?Our reactions don’t occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment—the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. So often the environment seems to be outside our control. Even if that is true, as Goldsmith points out, we have a choice in how we respond.In Triggers, his most powerful and insightful book yet, Goldsmith shows how we can overcome the trigger points in our lives, and enact meaningful and lasting change. Goldsmith offers a simple “magic bullet” solution in the form of daily self-monitoring, hinging around what he calls “active” questions. These are questions that measure our effort, not our results. There’s a difference between achieving and trying; we can’t always achieve a desired result, but anyone can try. In the course of Triggers, Goldsmith details the six “engaging questions” that can help us take responsibility for our efforts to improve and help us recognize when we fall short.Filled with revealing and illuminating stories from his work with some of the most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world, Goldsmith offers a personal playbook on how to achieve change in our lives, make it stick, and become the person we want to be.

Small behavioural hacks can assist in better working habits and lead to huge payoffs.
Consider what habits you want to change, then modify your environment to support those behaviours. For example, if you want to read more, keep books or your kindle next to your bed and put your phone further away. If you want to check social media less often, delete those apps from your phone.

If we convert our playgrounds into unattractive sites, which will not be able to make us feel pleased; And on the contrary, we make the sites that will make us better in the future (desk) more seductive, without a doubt our habits will change, since we will become the "difficult" at the comfortable, and that association will make us act.

Create an Environment That Favors Good Habits

Undoubtedly, if we carry a daily list of the things we have to do at work, of the tasks that assigned us at the university, or the number of things we have to buy in a store, we should also take note of what behaviors we know we should not do, and at the end of the day, its non-realization will result in more time to do what it is necessary to do.For this, take a sheet of paper and write your daily behaviors. Once you finish, make a ranking of them by qualifying them from 1 to 10 (being 10 a behavior that gives you a lot, and 1 a behavior that gives you very little).&nbsp;

Make a List of Things You Should Not Do

One of our main obstacles to wanting to be productive is not that we do not do what we have to do; On the contrary, is that we do what we know we do not have to do. For this, in this article, I will give you three tips that will allow you to avoid what does not let you move forward.

How to Avoid Bad Habits

Just as it is not possible for a plant that sows today to fully grow up tomorrow, it is not possible that you expect all of the sudden to be a 100% productive person after taking 2 years with bad habits.&nbsp;Remember, while a Toyota can be built in 13 hours, a Rolls Royce can only be built in 6 months.Even if it sounds hard, this does not mean that there is no hope. On the contrary, you could think of your habits as a snowball, that will allow you to make greater progress as long as you keep going.
