INSIGHT

Why Time Management Fails Creativity

  • Traditional time management stems from industrial age processes focusing on output quantity.
  • Creativity thrives on idea quality, positive emotion, and openness, which clock-watching stifles.
ADVICE

Prepare and Ritualize Creativity

  • Prepare your mind by gathering research and raw material before creative work.
  • Practice rituals to enter creative state on command like the executive who trained himself playing catch.
ADVICE

Minimum Creative Dose

  • Use "minimum creative dose" by planting seeds of ideas in small bursts throughout the day.
  • Capture fleeting thoughts even in brief idle moments to let the subconscious develop them.
