To my mother
By now you may have heard the story of how Lin-Manuel Miranda came up with the idea for Hamilton, his groundbreaking smash-hit musical. Struggling for inspiration, he took a much-needed break. While on the beach, he read a book about Alexander Hamilton, and voil, the idea for the musical was born.
Usually, this story is cited to show how important time off is for creativity. It is a great exemplar of that. Our brains are adept at solving problems and generating great insights and ideas when were not laser-focused.
But theres more to learn from this story than take your vacation. Psychologically, much is going on beneath the surface.
Productivity advice emphasizes being focused and undistracted. But focus isnt the full story of how great things get done. Outstanding work comes about through alternating between focusing and letting your mind wander. It happens through switching between being disciplined and going off on a tangent, like devouring a book about a founding father if what youre trying to do is write a blockbuster musical. To do our best work, we have to allow ourselves to go off-topic sometimes.
When experts explain how important the unfocused mind is in productivity, what they often gloss over is how much courage it takes to harness its potential. Modern productivity culture gives us the message that focus and rigid habits are safe goals. But to be your most productive, youll need to devote time to being unfocused. What makes this harder than it might seem? To do it, you have to trust yourself. You need to trust that some of the time, your mind will wander someplace interesting and insightful. Youll need psychological tools for tolerating uncertainty about when, how, and if good ideas will show up. And youll need to override guilt and the accompanying mental chatter that what youre doing is wasting time, and time-wasting = bad. These are some of the cognitive-emotional skills youll learn in this book.
When people arent accustomed to trying to be innovative or creative, they often fear that if they let their mind wander or go off on tangents, it wont go anywhere interesting. If youre anything like me, youre not reading an 800-page biography on your vacation like Lin-Manuel was. And you may be wondering if that romance novel or crime podcast is really going to spark innovation or creativity. Well, what would be wrong with that? Its not just lofty interests that spark the creativity that produces wonderful work. Allowing yourself to be influenced by pop culture can do it too. Someone like Shonda Rhimes is a phenomenal example of how powerful that can be. Take the story about how the Featherington family on her very popular Netflix series Bridgerton was influenced by the Kardashians (and not just the books that the show is based on). Inspiration can happen in both big and small ways.
In case youre wondering, you dont have to be a creative genius and envied for your productivity, like Lin-Manuel or Shonda, to benefit from all this. And you dont need to be in a traditionally creative field. The same basic mental processes apply universally to everyone, including you.
