“The creative process entails five steps: (1) preparation—an individual becomes immersed, consciously or not, in a set of problematic issues that arouse his or her interest and curiosity; (2) incubation—the individual processes information, often below the threshold of consciousness; (3) insight—new ideas and insights emerge; (4) evaluation—the person decides whether a new idea is valuable and worth pursuing; and (5) elaboration—the individual practically pursues the new idea by transforming, developing, and refining it (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997).”
