What creativity and good memory have in common
They’re not things any of us have:
- Attention to detail is something you do, not something you have. We either choose to commit to exploring every angle, or we don’t.
- Creativity is something you do, not something you have. We either embrace the activity, or we limit ourselves to shallower thought.
- Good memory is something you do, not something you have. We either organize and structure our thoughts, or we leave them messy.
There are no special snowflakes here: we all have the ability to embrace or forgo attention to detail, creativity, and a good memory.
How does accepting that affect our work?
