You want to know how to be creative at work?
Just take a break!
If you want to improve your job performance you will have to take short breaks throughout the workday even if it's spending a couple of minutes doodling.
Especially if there's an idea generating process to your work, breaking up the process with regular intervals of private time to let your mind play can increase your creativity and concentration.
If you work at an unterrupted rate like yours, you will have burnt all that coal by the end of the month.
Therefore, by taking ,,job breaks" during the day, you can help avoid burning out your problem solving ability.

Take a break, be creative
More creative at work
Day dreaming is good, is creative
You will return after your breaks with a fresh outlook on your task, with the ability to concentrate more because you have been away from it for a while. Our best ideas don't come when we're trying hard to get them.
They come when our mind is free to wander and free associate. It is during this period when we're most relaxed that creative breakthroughs are likely to happen. Breaks should be two to five minutes long taken up to six times a day.
Every day I would take my breaks simply browsing through a newspaper, day dreaming for 2 minutes or just doodling for a couple of minutes, chatting with a friend on the phone or talking to others.
It's good idea to sometimes get up from your desk or workplace and walk around to get away from your work. By putting ,,job breaks" into your work schedule, you'll improve your performance and keep your job fun not drudgery.
