Often the greatest inspiration comes when I'm not TRYING to think about anything. Maybe I'm meditating, or swimming, or brushing my teeth. Something about freeing the brain allows it to make unexpected connections -- which we often call "inspiration" or "insight." It's good to try hard often. But sometimes it's even better to not try at all.
