Unexpected Leaps

Procrastination gives you time to consider divergent ideas, to think in nonlinear ways, to make unexpected leaps.

Adam Grant

I tend to prefer permission to be still or creating space rather than procrastination, but the point stands that we’re too busy being busy, which may go a long way to explain why so many supposed solutions don’t ever actually solve anything at all. Or why so many new things are just an old solution in a new package.

That sounds like the biggest creative dead end to me.
