Charles Dickens walked everywhere in London. Walked 30 miles to his country home and then back. BTW, excellent recent movie about Charles Dickens and his mystery life called The Invisible Woman

I love this idea!

 

I teach Psychology and I have read that research shows that creativity can be improved when our minds are focused on other things. A lot of important inventions and ideas have come as a resort of the mind being able to relax on the conscious level while other parts of the mind can work to be more creative.
