Sometimes it is better to try to just do normal things instead of thinking really hard about getting an idea. Then after a while, the start of a good idea might just pop into your head right at the moment you aren't even thinking about it. It is not good to be thinking, <em>Is the good idea going to happen in the next two minutes?</em> That doesn't work either.</p> </body> </html>
