You're not lacking creativity, you're overwhelmed
I think that we are being overwhelmed and it hurts us in more ways than our creativity. We are moving through the world in constant distraction.<p>Until recently, when I was doing something around the house, no matter what, I was listening to music, podcasts, or books.<p>I found that it seemed like it was taking for ever for me to do the simplest tasks. After a while... I figured that I must be going slower because I was always doing two things at once. After a few weeks of doing the dishes without ear buds in, I don't think I'll ever go back. I am not able to focus better and get things done.<p>If you are like I was, and you are always inundated with some distraction, try moving through the world without it.
