I totally disagree with this quote!

Wait, don't roll your eyes just yet! I found this quote in the realm of social media. I know it sounds like something straight out of a lazy person's handbook, but hear me out. I’m not buying this idea, at least not in the way you think.

Creativity: It’s Not Just for the 'Creatives'

Let's get one thing straight: creativity isn’t some fancy trait that’s only bestowed upon artists, writers, and people who wear quirky hats. Nope. It's as universal as a love for pizza. Everyone has it - from the parent who turns broccoli into spaceships to encourage their kids to eat, to the scientist who's basically a professional wizard, conjuring up solutions out of thin air. You, me, your next-door neighbor - we're all part of this creativity club.

'Creative Leisure' - More Than Just Daydreaming

Enter Domenico De Masi with his 'Creative Leisure' theory, sounding like the title of the next big Netflix series. But it's not about binge-watching shows in your pajamas. It's about using leisure time to spark creativity. Imagine that! Time spent staring out the window, taking a long bath, or just lounging on the couch could actually be your brain doing push-ups and getting stronger in the creativity department.

Creative Leisure: A Human Right, Not a Luxury

In a world where our brains are constantly marinated in social media notifications and endless work emails, doing nothing isn't just nice; it’s necessary. Think of it as a mini-vacation for your brain. It's not about being lazy; it's about giving your brain room to breathe, wander, and come back with souvenirs in the form of brilliant ideas.

So, as we kick off the new year, how about we toss in a seemingly counterintuitive resolution? Let’s pledge to regularly do absolutely nothing. Yep, you heard that right. Schedule in some good old 'stare into space' time. Make it as important as your business meetings. Because sometimes, the best way to light the fire of creativity is to just stop adding wood and let the embers glow.
