• It’s methodical and very left brained while creativity is very right
• Like trying to dance and type on your laptop at the same time
• Make the space take the notes and distil later
• Flights of fancy are good for the team!
• Having fun solving problems leads to better solutions
• The creativity from regular brainstorms rubs off on every day office life if they happen in the office
