Does listening to music stimulate creative thinking ? or stifles it ?

It depends on the person in all honesty, i can not work in dead silence, so i tend to have music playing when i work, but i know some people who cant work with music playing. so all in all, i would say, if you think it makes you focus more, or helps you further your creativity, then have at it.

Have a Nice day

there is a sequence and logical steps to give an answer of a trouble.

1) strategy is necessary to develop an project idea.

2) to study and know the environment where you are going to work ( ecosystem).

3)   the materials resources to built the ideas.

4) to give a priority order in the context that you study. in this case human needs.
