Topic Reading-Vol.1836-4/21/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why idle moments are crucial for creativity?
How long do you usually keep your eyes on screens of any kind? A few hours or longer? Surprisingly, Americans and Brits both spend around staggering 10 hours a day on looking at screens, according to a media research firm. If a person sleeps for eight hours, there are only six hours left to do other things. If that is the case, how much time does one have to be reflective or creative?
One researcher says there are two attention systems in human brain, one is external and the other is internal. The latter is only activated when the mind is rested, in other words, daydreaming. People become more creative or innovative when their mind or attention is not occupied or interrupted by external links.
How long do you daydream a day?
Enjoy reading and thinking when you usually come up with a good idea or solution.
