#395 Making space for creativity


Listen Later

Creativity flourishes in margin, not in chaos. We often expect creativity to flow on demand, but our best ideas typically emerge during moments of relaxation—in the shower, on walks, or as we're falling asleep.

• Creativity is like a kite that needs open skies to fly, not the confined space of a garage
• Downtime isn't wasted time—it's the soil where fresh ideas take root
• Children's creativity flows from exploration and play, not from rushing
• Creativity multiplies in community when people feel safe to share ideas
• Einstein described creativity as "intelligence having fun"
• Busyness may get things done, but margin births game-changing ideas

Schedule 30 minutes this week for unstructured time—no agenda, no screens. Go for a walk, doodle, play guitar, stare at clouds, or simply let your mind wander. Visit growthinstigators.com to learn how we can help you or your team grow.
