Two types of problem solving require two diametrically opposite mental states.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We often focus like a laser beam: Precise and with high intensity. \u00a0When we focus like a laser, anything that is not under the beam vanishes from our attention, including our \u00a0perception of time. \u00a0We are usually under flow state<\/a> and we are reasonably confident about cracking the problem that we are focusing on.<\/p>\n
