"Phenomenally well" is a bit over the top. What can I say, I follow no special diet nor engage in meditation or special breathing methods. Supposedly there are techniques for breaking oneself out of a rut, such as brushing your teeth with the "wrong" hand, or taking a different route to work. How did you learn a skill you already possess? Create for yourself similar circumstances. For some that means taking a class, for others, reading a book. Me, I'm motived by a strong desire to convince women to take their clothes off, which when I was young meant being a clown, then graduated to playing guitar, then to writing poetry, and now involves asking, "do you think could pose for me?"
Actually, with drawing it was seeing the notebooks of DaVinci and others, with text and sketches all combined. The physical act of writing and drawing seems linked with invention and inspiration. I thought if I could learn to draw reasonably well, I could improve my note-taking, which is tantamount, with me, to my thought processes. I aspire to being able to sit and record my thoughts, my ideas, in prose, poetry, and sketch work with enough skill and clarity to spur more and better thoughts. A feedback loop, if you will, a conversation with my own mind through the physicality of putting a pencil to paper.
