Creativity begins at the constraint.

When you have reached the limit yet need to produce work, creativity sets in.

When it’s time to play and you haven’t practiced your Handel piano sonata, creativity sets in.

When your nephew refuses to do his homework because the system is beating down on him, creativity…

Just like culture is created at the extremes, creativity is created at the constraint.

If you want to be more creative, create and embrace constraints.
