- When you struggle to let go of control of your ideas, the creative processes within the brain can get stuck in a rut
- It can pay dividends to slow down and let an idea or problem ruminate overnight, for a few days, or even a few weeks
- If your next piece of work doesn’t have a tight turnaround, gently sit with your ideas for a longer
- During this time, your brain may enter a period of subconscious processing, allowing new ideas to rise to the surface
