The Creative Mind Creative people strike a balance between in-the-moment focus and mind-wandering daydreaming. Scott Barry Kaufman writes in Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind: “Creativity requires a balance of external focus with more inner-focused, free imagination network processes like future thinking, reflection, introspection, and memory consolidation. Although focussed attention can be a gateway to creative thinking, optimal creativity likely results from both mindful and mind-wandering states of mind and, importantly, in the ability to switch easily from one mode of engagement to the other as needed.”
