𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯?

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite shows, 𝘔𝘢𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘯, is about creativity and productivity:

It opens with Don Draper, creative director, talking to his ad agency’s financial chief, Lane Pryce. Lane is complaining about the copywriters: they’re not being productive in the creative lounge. They’re napping, socializing, playing darts.

Don looks at him: “We do this better than you,” he says. “And part of that is letting our creatives be unproductive… 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦.”

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:

Creativity boils down to putting old things together in new ways, which is a two-step process:

𝟭/ get knowledge and experiences
𝟮/ make unexpected connections

But usually, you can’t force a connection. Usually, you need to 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘹 it out by doing something unrelated, something distracting.

Like napping.
Like socializing.
Like playing darts.

These things 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 unproductive, yeh, but they’re not.

Because while these things distract your conscious mind, your subconscious will continue working, incubating, processing your knowledge and experiences until a random sequence of synapses fires off in your frontal cortex:

And you have a moment of clarity.
And connect disparate things.
And then you blurt out:

“Hey, that’s interesting!”

And your colleague looks up and says, “What?”

And you lean back and say, “Well, what if…”

And then you’re off to the races.

“You’re often most creative," says artist Austin Kleon, "when you’re the least productive.”

Don Draper agrees: whether you work in copywriting or any other creative discipline, part of your job is not doing your job.

@CraigKnauer @CNNThisMorning @PoppyHarlowCNN @kaitlancollins What? Dems split the bill because they knew it wasn’t going to pass.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @sundaynightrant @E_Full_79 @POTUS I’m disgusted by President Biden and Democrats calling this a win. They are hypocrites calling them selves pro labor.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @EllenCanavan2 @E_Full_79 @POTUS Exactly Biden could have chosen to stay away but he intervened making it illegal for them to strike.

People are already leaving the industry but companies are just choosing to put more responsibility on those who stay making it more difficult and even dangerous for them.

@DickFurniture @nada_lemming @E_Full_79 @POTUS I don’t have a union. My job it’s a pretty good salary work with all benefits. It’s hybrid and if I have to go to the doctor I can chose to work from home whenever I want.

But I still support unions, and the rail workers because it’s stupid they can’t even get 7 sick days.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @sundaynightrant @E_Full_79 @POTUS I don’t know why you think this is about me. I have a pretty good job, with good insurance, PTO and sick days. How is it wrong to ask that other people get the same benefits? Especially when they work so hard and are essential for our economy.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @EllenCanavan2 @E_Full_79 @POTUS I have a pretty good job. I don’t know how that it’s important. This is not about me or you. This is about the rail workers who don’t get days off and have to be on-call with less than an hour to get to work.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @nada_lemming @E_Full_79 @POTUS I have insurance, and sick leave. It bother me because they took power away from unions and workers and that affects all of us.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@AZCowboy72 @PontificatingS @john_rohrbach07 @POTUS They split the bill. They knew it wasn’t going to pass. Stop making excuses for them

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @sundaynightrant @E_Full_79 @POTUS They don’t get a contract for the next five years. He took away all their power by not allowing them to strike. Shame on you for defending a hypocrite, and a liar.

You can be a democrat not support everything they do. He betrayed the workers.

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @nada_lemming @E_Full_79 @POTUS I’m a democrat and he sucks! He didn’t support the workers. That deal was 💩

[cherry @cherrybombx_VG]

@DickFurniture @EllenCanavan2 @E_Full_79 @POTUS The workers turned this down… they haven’t gotten a raise in three years and this raise is for the next 5 years. So it’s actually a pay-cut.
