Solitude is the state of being alone which indeed sparks creativity and increases productivity in oneself. It is often valued as a period when an individual may work, think or rest without being disturbed by external factors or influences. Solitude makes you depend on yourself to remove as many distractions and interruptions as you can from your day.
Solitude is a positive and constructive state of engagement with oneself in being alone without being isolated. It frees up the mind from all the distractions of everyday life. It allows the brain to think outside the box and to come up with unique, extraordinary solutions to ordinary problems in life.
