Even better to get a solid 30 than a poor 40.

I've noticed something happening to me since I've become an "adult". I'm so busy 9 to 5ing it that I don't look out the window anymore. Whenever I do, my pondering is overshadowed by a sense of dread -- that I can't day-dream for long because I've got things to do.

The sum effect of this is that I don't have any good ideas any more. Good ideas are the natural result of day-dreaming. Sometimes I believe the only thing that separates the "innovators" from the "workers" is that one group happens to have the luxury of time such that they can afford to day-dream without any sense guilt.

Where and how do we start to change this?
