Write reflection notes all day

Empty your mind of thoughts all day, and write a reflection for each paper. Concentrate and avoid physical and mental interruptions. The greater the attention capacity, the more likely the combinatorial leap that leads to new thoughts. Stress decreases originality in association and creativity tasks. Clear your mind from non-important thoughts. Utilize parallel thinking to allow all participants to think of the same task at the same time without discussion. Divide the process into small, short tasks with one deadline at a time. Help participants forget the previous task and focus on one task only at a time. Use external memory and write down every idea and all irrelevant thoughts to make room for new ideas.
