If I'm sitting in one spot for too long and am stuck on a problem, sometimes finding a solution is as simple as moving across the room to a different spot and trying it from there (it's amazing how often this works). I have no idea why process can have anything to do with physical space when the physical space doesn't have anything at all directly to do with the subject matter...perhaps the physical change in body position and visual information I'm taking in can somehow turn up new associations in my brain enough to wrangle my head around a difficult task.
I have a feeling I'm not unique in this, any thoughts from the anonymous readers?
also, i might just be weird.
I tend to have a couple of different spots that I regularly return to when I need to be creative. I will sit at my desk in my apartment, usually only when I need to get work done, or I will go to my favorite coffee shop with the intention of doing work. I don't usually switch up where I work, but when I feel stuck, I know that's when it's time to get up and walk around, or eat something!
