Yea, I had read that a while back.<p>"And of course there's another kind of thinking, when you're starting something new, that requires complete quiet. You never know when this will strike."<p>Thinking about this now, I don't necessarily know that time spent just thinking will yield anything useful, let alone completely innovative. I went running today and all I thought about was different ways I could have written this essay. I've just realized that when I do have these moments, this kind of thinking, it isn't by accident, or when working on something else. It happens during a specific time I set aside for it.
