Insight is distinguished by a change in problem representation.
Insight can be facilitated by active seeking of new problem representations [ie drawwing, analogies]
Incubation [taking breaks during working] enhances problem solving ability.
A night’s sleep improves problem solving ability to a considerable degree.
Mind-wandering [ie low effort tasks] facilitates creativity.
[One] should study solved problems, attack the problem while in different moods, and try explaining the problem to others
