I hear this a lot and I understand people make mistakes trying to rush but this is not accurate for me. I can absolutely will myself to think faster. Maybe this comes with experience doing some meditation but when I have a difficult problem where the solution is not immediately obvious, I can sit in my chair or take a walk and focus very intensely on the problem. I get my whole mind to just focus on this one thing and I keep my mind there without getting distracted or daydreaming. I don’t try to have any kinds of thought in particular. I just focus on the problem. After doing this for a certain amount of time I will come up with my conclusion.
I could do this over a longer period of time and create much less mental strain but when I’m in a time crunch, it’s very useful.
That said if the problem is actually beyond my reach and capabilities I won’t get much of an answer.
