Tackling problems with minimum effort?

Tired bunny.

Often while working at something you will often hit a block that no amount of effort will even begin to overcome and then, when we feel futility overcome us, we stop; and then, with time, we return; and with time and the homecoming to what we once enjoyed, we feel all the enjoyment and previously insurmountable tasks have become trivial without you having to do anything, in fact, deliberately not doing anything.

A few minutes before writing this, I had the funny idea of trying to see if you could deliberately induce such at thing to happen. That is, frame a problem in your mind and make no effort to try and solve it, in the hope that, when you return to your task, you will have already worked out the solution on some subconscious level while your conscious mind and body has been busy doing more useful things.

This should also help you get started on tasks you don’t want to do as all you need is to put the problem in front of you, have it clearly in your mind, then forget about it and do something else.

Well, it’s just a theory but I’m going to give it a try. Just setting time to look at problems and but leaving any attempt at solving them until a later date.
