Thomas Edison, who famously invented the lightbulb, is a marvellous example of this. Edison's scientific and
experimental laboratory was a giant barn-like building with many
different tables and benches, each one containing a different project on
which he was working.
Edison designed his workshop in this way to allow each one of his
ongoing projects to connect, in his mind, with all the others. He
considered that anything he did in one experiment might have some
unexpected connection with the others. He found that this was
tremendously useful in helping him create new ideas.
You can start with a random object or word and
force an association with a problem you are trying to solve.
Using this approach will help you realize that your life is much more
integrated than you may have thought, and it will also give you the
opportunity to make new creative additions to it.
Creativity
requires spending time "doing nothing" - workaholism guarantees its
death
