Imagination. It's often a misunderstood skill. Some people in authority, like parents, teachers, and bosses, mistakenly strive to restrict, containt, regulate, and in extreeme instances, abolish it.
There is a time and place for everything. That includes working the right side of our brains by exercising our imagination through day-dreaming. In those relaxed periods anything from problem solutions to masterful works of art can be conceived. Even if nothing of seeming importance is imagined, that most coveted of all commodities: down time, can act as a brain reboot, which may ready an analytical mind for the solution or masterpiece hidden within.
The anylitical work of the left hemisphere of the brain is enhanced by the imaginative and emotive right hemisphere.
And the expressively artistic right hemisphere needs the systematic orderliness of the left hemisphere.
The hemispheres are not meant to be in opposition to each other. They are meant to work together.
Just ask any Disney Imagineer.
