Have you ever struggled to come up with an idea while you were at your desk?
Then later on getting an amazing idea when you were doing something relaxing?
It is something that happens to millions of people every day.
Check out the video above to find out why.
But why does it happen?

- Convergent thinking: Where the brain has to improve and refine ideas through a series of small conscious steps
- Divergent thinking: Where the brain forms random connections between pieces of existing knowledge to come up with highly original new ideas
