Miles Davis and the Speed of Creativity
Miles Davis demonstrated that significant creative work can be accomplished rapidly, as evidenced by the completion of the iconic album 'Kinda Blue' in just five days. This highlights the possibility that individuals often complicate their processes unnecessarily. The notion of productivity hinges not on technical skill—for example, typing a 150-page book can be done in four days—but on overcoming personal barriers. Creative individuals must focus on removing mental obstacles to enhance their output. The ability to 'get out of your way' is essential for tapping into creativity and achieving results in a timely manner.
