Daily PlanIt Personal Qualities

Creativity involves:
1. Time spent collecting and studying information that applies to a problem
2. Incubation: a period of apparant inactivity while the subconcious works on the problem followed by
3. Illumination, or inspiration when a solution or idea suddenly appears
4. More hard work getting the ideas down and organized.

Studies reveal that we use only about 5% of the brain. Untapped powers of creativity are within us all. Give yourself permission to unleash your creativity.
