Thank you, Divad, for reading the article, and what great questions!

We can certainly encourage the insight brewing work by intentionally setting time aside for condition setting activities.

What comes to mind now are the following:

- Mindfulness

- Journaling (or free-writing to relieve our monkey/worry mind)

- Time blocking for creative thinking (those white spots on our agenda should be blocked for this before it gets filled up by other fill-in tasks or other's priorities)

- Recreation/enjoyable activity

Mindset for this? Trust.

Trust that our subconscious mind is doing the work 24/7, and we can facilitate the work by intentionally giving it quality information, questions, direction/intention. I must say that it is a practice, and the idea may seem against my technical and process-controlling background, but it is proven to be very useful when big-picture thinking is needed.

For example, I can trust that some ideas/insights will come up when cooking or loading my laundry. Of course, I do not just go and stand in front of a cutting board or a laundry machine waiting for an answer or insight😊 That would be expecting or forcing, right? I plant the question, go on about my day, and trust that the answer will come.

Thank you again for your questions. This got me thinking too :)
