Number of conditions ought to obtain for someone to do large quality work in a day. Among these is good sleep, that is 8 hours of sleep, plenty of nutritious food, walking and emptied bodymind, through meditation and other ways.
If I can abstain from nonsense activities, such as surfing for no reason or talking for the sake of talking and so on, less meditation would be required to do a quality work. Doing so gives me confidence and not doing so, doubt. The former is attractive, the latter is not.
I produce, sometimes, good quality work because I manage to overcome inertia, I collect notes when I note them and then I publish them after editing them. I work slowly rather than quickly, thus I use more time but I produce quality work.
Modern, as well as ancient, people who studied people, say they differ on what they prefer to focus. Some like to focus on abstract stuff, such as ideas, dreams, mythologies, theoretical stuff and so on. Others like to focus on concrete stuff, such as sports, commerce, artworks, money and so on.
Words used to capture this great division is sensation and intuition.
When you know something intuitively, you know that thing without knowing reasons as why it is so. In this view intuition is not knowledge, for knowledge is the knowledge of why, you know something, when you know what causes Y to do X, or at least you have an idea of the relevant causes.
Intuution appears to offer a hypothesis to test. It is not judging function, according to the studies and research of Myers and Briggs, and others, but data gathering tool. It is thoughts and emotions that accompany the data that render verdict.
Some people say intuition is end result of complex computation, see Blink: the power of thinking without thinking, you are given a result but not how it was worked out.
It is like student who gives the teacher an answer, but not how he arrived it. The teacher says ok you got the answer, but I need to see the steps, well the answer is always no in this game.
This is a source of problem for many intuitive types because they demand steps, rather than entertaining the thesis to see if they can find an evidence for it.
Intuition is resource for intuitive types, just as senses are for sensing types.
