tsm creative thought before action

I remember as a little kid, I would think of the easiest way to get through a situation. Almost, as if moving like in an assembly line. I would see the situation at hand and the solution would come to me almost automatically in pictures. Now, even though this was an easier way, some may see it as being physically lazy. I would think so as well, when I was young, but now I see that it was very unlazy and it was more mentally active motions. I read in a book called spark of genius recently that there were artists that would stare at a piece of rock for weeks or months and not do anything physical to it till they had it figured out in their head, what steps it would take to create the final product. Right now, I am creating a rough draft to a business plan, of just the basics of what I would want it to consist of. I have no clue as of where to begin, but focusing on this one idea brings many puzzle pieces together into what will be the final idea. I don’t know what I would want to be the style or decoration, but with putting these puzzle pieces together, downstream focus, and integrating thoughts, I believe I will recieve that aha ten second miracle moment.
