Not the whole project, but the repetitive parts that let the mind wander. I find piecing a quilt does this for me. And there is always good old housework if we are just puttering at it and not feeling impatient to get it done. In order to moodle we need to make space for alpha waves to operate in our brain. Alpha waves bring in that in-between, meditative state where our mind can gather together conscious thoughts and unconscious information in order to create something brand new.
Inspiration occurs with a great burst of alpha waves.
I personally believe that every one of us is a creative person.
