An interesting article on creativity with a particular message for studying.
“The best preparation for the future is paradoxically to imagine the process – not the outcome – of your desired future event. One study showed that when students imagined desired outcomes (good grades for an upcoming test) they performed significantly worse than students who imagined the process getting to the desired outcomes (imagining studying thoroughly).”
So imagine the process … and do the process… to improve your results.
