A misconception is that creativity merely happens. We assume those who have produced brilliance woke up one day with a great idea, and the rest is history. Yet we fail to see the many ideas they generated that failed or the deliberateness in the approach taken by those we label as creative.
“A busy calendar and a busy mind will destroy your ability to do great things. If you want to be able to do great things, whether you’re a musician, or whether you’re an entrepreneur, or whether you’re an investor, you need free time, and you need a free mind.”-Naval Ravikant
Time blocking is necessary for all creatives. The musician and artist do not create in short bursts. Nor should anyone else assume that creativity does not require dedicated time. Your level of creativity is relative to the time you dedicate to it.
