Are you thinking or are you farting?
Though too much thinking can lead you to procrastination and never really finish what you started, a little bit of deep thinking can lead to mature and coherent design… As design is mainly about solving problems, it surely can’t harm if you ask yourself why those problems are here before jumping into solving them blindly.

Last year, I discovered Dan Pink’s amazing book about the right and left brains. This also was the occasion for me to discover that I am a right brainer (and no more ashamed to be so in this technological world, thanks to him). Two little tests to check for yourself:
Right brain test 1
Right brain test 2
And the fabulous book: A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink
