The Art of Procrastination
VOLUME 01
In the midst of the pandemic, we all may have procrastinate way more than we usually do. But is procrastination is truly a negative thing? The answer is no, not necessarily. Procrastination is good for you if done wisely and in moderation.
Do you know that the best ideas often comes when we’re least expecting them? Well, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart experience that phenomenon, and other artist as well. Mozart, described how new melodies would arrive while he was eating in a restaurant, walking after a meal or getting ready for sleep at night. “Those that please me, I retain, and even hum; at least, so others have told me,” he wrote. “It seems to me impossible to say whence they come to me and how they arrive; what is certain is that I cannot make them come when I wish.”
For us creative people, surely we can relate to Mozart, that sometimes the right amount of distraction may be key to innovation. Sometimes we need to take a moment to rest our mind, to welcome new fresh thoughts.

works?
Based on article from BBC, Psychologists would seem to agree, with strong evidence that creative insights are much more likely to occur after a period of “incubation” – in which you focus on something entirely different from the job at hand, while your brain works away behind the scenes. This include taking a walk, doing household chores, having a shower, or even watching funny YouTube videos.
How does the incubation period helps? According to one of the leading theories, it depends on the power of the unconscious mind: when we leave our task, the brain continues to look for solutions below awareness, until a solution pops out.
