Your best ideas need empty minutes to land in. Fill every gap with a screen and they circle forever.

Ideas arrive in gaps rather than under pressure. The mind connects things while it is unoccupied, in the shower, on a walk, standing in a line, and those connections need a moment of nothing to surface into. When every small gap is filled, the thinking keeps happening underneath and never gets a place to land.
Leave a few gaps open on purpose this week. Walk without audio, wait without reaching, let a queue be boring. You are not trying to force a breakthrough, only leaving a door open so the ones already forming can come through.
When was your last stretch of time without a screen?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
