The creative process can't be planned, and it has to be difficult. Otherwise the answer would be obvious. The key insights often don't arrive until you're halfway through the implementation. Wishing you were smarter/wiser on day 1, so you could have avoided the twists, is silly.

100%. I can't tell you how many times I ran into a problem without a clear solution, but the act of just working on it led to figuring it out over an iteration or two.

There's a lot of studies and science done on creativity. The main takaways is that it happens when people are at peace and very relaxed. It's a prerequisite to creativity.

Creative process in in a way "time irreducible". It's not a mathematical formula that you just plug in numbers to simulate what the state would be in "x" years from now - no, you have to compute, spend time on it to yield results

The journey's messy and unpredictable. It's the struggle that spurs growth, right? Keep pushing through those twists

Guille1 year ago

the muse comes down when it comes down. You can't have creativity planned and on a schedule.

Thanks for saying it out loud.

The great liberation of working on a niche product — whether that's Fizzy or Omarchy — is that you don't carry the burden of mass-market criticality or appeal. So you're free to have fun, be quirky, be whimsical.

.David Deutsch: Everyone can and should be a scientist, because being a scientist just means wanting to understand the world and using the only method of doing so that works, namely, to be puzzled, to be mistaken, to guess how one might be mistaken and how the grand authorities who can't imagine that they could be mistaken often are, and not to be satisfied with bad explanations, one's own or anyone's, that is, explanations that could have otherwise and you'd be none the wiser. That's the critical attitude. It's the only access to reality that we have. Use it. It's fun.

5/ The smarter you get, the easier it is to fool yourself. Intelligence gives you better reasons to justify your mistakes. But Feynman saw through this. He believed: “I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.”

Profitability is a license to wing it. It's the freedom to follow a hunch that can't be justified in a spreadsheet. The greater the margin, the more chill you can be.

Just made a calculator that will tell you exactly how much money you're leaving on the table with your current sales process It's SHOCKING how many agency owners don't use math to make decisions It also breaks down: - Each step of the sales process so you know which would be the highest leverage to improve - Exactly how many leads, calls, and closes you need in order to hit your target revenue Like + comment "math" and send it to you (Must be following so I can dm you otherwise I can't)

Would it be even better if? 🤔 More thoughts on creativity and the creative process. I’m curious to hear if you agree?

Greatness comes through pain and trials. The reason you're not as great as you could be, is because you can't take pain.

Reporter: You said there would be no pause and now there’s a pause Trump: You have to have flexibility. I could say here’s a wall and I’m going to go through it and you can’t go through the wall. Sometimes you have to be able to go under the wall or around the wall or over the wall.

You have to be a bit of an arrogant fuck to be a founder. You have to believe that there's SOMETHING that you do better, smarter, quicker than other people. Then you have to weigh that against the ever-present risk that it just might not matter.

Naval on when to trust your gut: “I think the gut is what decides. The head is kind of what rationalizes it afterwards. The gut is the ultimate decision-maker. And what is a gut? The gut is refined judgment, it's taste. [The gut is an aggregator]…it could be aggregated through evolution, and it's in your genes, in your DNA, or it could be aggregated through your experiences and what you've thought through. The mind is good at solving new problems, and new problems in the external world that have defined edges, you know, beginnings and ends and objectives. What the mind is actually really bad at is making hard decisions. So when you have a hard decision to make, I find it's better to — yes, you ruminate on it, you think through all the pros and cons — but then you sleep on it, you wait a couple of days, you wait until the gut answer appears with conviction and it feels right. And when you're younger, it takes longer. Because you just don't have as much experience. And when you're older, it can happen much faster. […] It takes time to develop your gut instinct and judgment. But once you've developed them, don't trust anything else. Because you can't go against your gut, it'll bite you in the end.” *** Full episode with Chris Williamson:
