Great article. I found you through jbanfield's discord channel and I think this is the second time I'm finding an article of yours there that I want to recommend to him. Can't believe I didn't follow you before, but I am now.

I have to run, so I'll quickly say about the content of your post and final question that I think you're spot on when you say there is more that stimulates us now but that undermines our ability to focus the way creativity requires.

I see so many people who are full of ideas but short on results. I know that as a child I learned to be creative by first being bored a lot. We were poor and I didn't have many toys, plus had an anxiety disorder that made me not want to go out to play that much. So I I had to use my mind to keep myself entertained. And I've gone on to be a prolific creator starting in my teens with creating a summer camp for younger kids, including getting it funded.

I look forward to seeing more of your stuff, now in my feed.
