Source: discombobulated-etymologySo I didn’t think all of this would fit on a standard sized poster but it did! If there are any typos or anything that’s hard to read I’d love to know so I can fix it. :) This was all me, so if you repost it please give me credit. Or better yet just reblog it! :D
Why do you ruin my quality internet? Those super thin letters aren’t that thin on the PDF. :(

NEVER BUG ME FOR A PENCIL DURRING INSTRUCTION….Students may sharpen 3 pencils in the morning. If all three happen to break they may walk to the writing table and swap a broken pencil for a brand new one. Try it! :-)
fantastic idea

A study now suggests that simply taking a break does not bring on inspiration — rather, creativity is fostered by tasks that allow the mind to wander.
“We’ve traditionally found that rapid-eye-movement sleep grants creative insight. That allowing the mind to wander does the same is absolutely fascinating. The implication is that mind-wandering was only helpful for problems that were already being mentally chewed on. It didn’t seem to lead to a general increase in creative problem-solving ability,” says Baird.
As well as revealing that breaks on their own do not encourage creative thinking, Baird’s work suggests an explanation for one of psychology’s great mysteries: why we zone out.
From an evolutionary perspective, mind-wandering seems totally counterproductive and has been viewed as dysfunctional because it compromises people’s performance in physical activities. However, Baird’s work shows that allowing the brain to enter this state when it is considering complex problems can have real benefits. Zoning out may have aided humans when survival depended on creative solutions.
