Creativity is often seen as a mysterious force, but it can be broken down into stages that anyone can understand. The first stage is preparation, where you gather information and resources. Next comes incubation, a period of subconscious processing. After that, you reach the illumination stage, where ideas begin to take shape. Finally, the verification stage allows you to refine and implement your ideas.
Creativity is intelligence having fun.
Understanding these stages can help you become more effective in your creative endeavors.
