I so rarely get this so I don't have a plan. Usually I'm short of time to write a flood of ideas into a notebook before the ideas evaporate. Interesting research in the Netherlands - do something differently.
Their test was to make a person make a sandwich upside-down. Somehow weird activity overcomes blocks. I've only used it where I think a scene is weak. Anything works - walking upstairs backwards - anything provided you've never done it before (and it won't kill you etc). Also there is another angle to research on creative thinking. I focusses on an unconscious process that occurs after a person has given up on a problem. Some hours after this an area in the back of the brain - not far from the occipital region but may be a part of it - heats up. Around fifteen minutes later the solution to the problem comes into the frontal lobe as a 'next stage' to look at but more frequently as a solution.
