Summary

This chapter explores the role of human energy in creative research practice. Researchers don’t necessarily work in ways that reflect or enhance available energy. In this chapter, we discuss ways to become more aware of your energy, including becoming cognizant of different types of energy and of trends in your energy over time, and we provide guidance on ways to use that knowledge to work smarter. Working with your energy can also help you boost your creative abilities, by helping you cultivate the mental and emotional states that best support the types of thinking needed to be emotionally intelligent, to find and frame problems, and to ideate and experiment.
