Creativity

"To do the work, we need to rest, to read, to reconnect. It is the invisible labor that makes creative life possible."

Highly creative people are usually absent-minded, as their brains spend most of the time connecting dots that seem to have no connection.

I used to write about "creative productivity" - until, slowly, I realized that trying to be "productive" while making creative work is like trying to train a wild, mysterious jungle cat. it is not a dog. it will not obey you. the cat will do whatever it wants - when it wants. however, even wild animals have rhythms, routines, and safe spaces.
