This episode is near and dear my procrastinatin' heart! As creative humans it's easy to get hard on ourselves when we aren't coming up with our most creative xyz each time we sit down to work.  Sometimes though it's more important to take that walk, watch tv, go on a hike, call a friend....whatever it is that will distract you.  The idea is that your mind is hard at work in the background creating connections and insightful, novel, innovative ideas.  Adam Grant's research also comes up in this episode--spoiler alert, he's a proponent for procrastination!  Hell yah. Let's get busy NOT doing the thing we're supposed to be doing!
