How about to follow the following tips.

·        Preparation (preparatory work on a problem that focuses the individual's mind on the problem and explores the problem's dimensions),

·        Incubation (where the problem is internalized into the unconscious mind and nothing appears externally to be happening),

·        Intimation (the creative person gets a "feeling" that a solution is on its way),

·        Illumination or insight (where the creative idea bursts forth from its preconscious processing into conscious awareness);

·        Verification (where the idea is consciously verified, elaborated, and then applied).
