When making a difficult decision, it is useful to take a break for a while.

Using daily habits as a distraction helps generate interesting ideas.

Psychologists from the University of Virginia have found that distraction is beneficial when solving a difficult creative problem, National Geographic reports.

For example, taking a shower can help if you have trouble accepting creative ideas.

This method won't work if you get distracted by something completely unexpected.

Once this stage is over, there is no sudden burst of creativity.

Psychologists believe that this method does not really distract the brain from the problem, but only dulls it a little.

They advise using daily habits to truly take your mind off the problem for a while, which will help you find the right solutions.
