In this episode I discuss why strict scheduling goes against the way nature and human creativity actually function. Real progress often appears in spontaneous gaps throughout the day, much like discoveries and insights in science and art that arise unexpectedly rather than through planning.
I explain that people struggle with this approach because they feel a kind of energy barrier before starting. This barrier is related to memory. We forget where we left off, so returning to a task feels heavier than it really is.
I then describe how memory techniques can remove this barrier. When you keep the main structure of your projects in your mind, you can reenter your work at any moment and allow productivity to flow naturally with the rhythm of your life.
