A Wandering Mind is a Busy Mind
A couple of weeks ago we blogged about taking contemplative time to find innovative solutions. Along the same theme, I wanted to visit another interesting behavior: the wandering mind. A friend shared a Wall Street Journal article that explores how a wandering mind can lead to creative insights. Today, more than ever, innovators are eager [...]
