For some people (and I think there are quite a few of them), they need to change their habits just to get to thinking.
I don’t think there are so many on this list with that problem. Plenty of thinking goes on around here. If anything, too much. If there is a problem, it’s with doing, not thinking. Clearly some here do create, but with all the akrasia talk, I think a lot wish they created more out of that thinking, and I’m one of them.
My impression is that, even here, there are relatively few people who will take five minutes (let alone more) to really focus on something. There are more here than average who will do a sort of casual non-creative reasonably clear thinking.
