I discussed how boredom (or, going on autopilot) helps you generate ideas in the previous episode. This episode covers how you can trigger that state intentionally.

You need to find activities that have a low cognitive load. These are tasks that allow your brain to enter "autopilot" mode so the Default Mode Network can engage and solve problems while you perform routine actions.

In this micro-episode:

1. My ways to autopilot that could inspire some ideas for you
2. A kind of... "problem loop" technique for problem solving and generating ideas
3. Making sure your environment is distraction free
