Where ideas come from

Ideas don’t come from:

• Overworking yourself
• Being more productive
• Forcing yourself to be original

Ideas come from:

• Underworking yourself
• Being more effective
• Playing with (and remixing) thought

They’re not very convenient that way. They don’t show up because you commanded them to, like an AI prompt. They show up precisely because you didn’t.

Take a breather. It might just hit you.
