Don't think about it.

It seems that scientific research is finaly proving what proponents of creative problem solving have been saying for years. From 'Sleeping on it' best for complex decisions at New Scientist.com (16.02.06)...

Complex decisions are best left to your unconscious mind to work out, according to a new study, and over-thinking a problem could lead to expensive mistakes. The research suggests the conscious mind should be trusted only with simple decisions, such as selecting a brand of oven glove. Sleeping on a big decision, such as buying a car or house, is more likely to produce a result people remain happy with than consciously weighing up the pros and cons of the problem, the researchers say.

It seems that our brain can only handle a certain amount of concious data at any one moment. And many of what we consider to be problems or challenges have many more factors involved that make it difficult, if not impossible to solve using logic - at least to our satisfaction. So the next time you realise that the same issue has come up for you again, consider using creative problem solving to push past the limitations of your logic. In fact, this is exactly what The Inner Vision Deck helps you to do. Happy problem solving!
