You will see that people in very high creativity fields adopting practices like this intuitively, which might seem crazy / lazy to those around them. Many mathematicians, musicians, novelists, auteurs come to mind. They work on a range of stuff, some positively irrelevant, and make sure to have 'off' time with a mildly distracting task/trip to let the subconscious work on the problem. Similarly, many creative writers can't write on a schedule (many can!), and need 'inspiration to strike them' - i.e. they recognize burnout and switch to subconscious mode.
