The more one reduces daily life obligations and maintenance, the more capacity one has to be creative.

Capacity is the keyword here. Because having discretionary time doesn’t mean you choose to engage in the process of making something. In fact, most just jump on Twitter or Netflix.

Often, people make the mistake of confusing time with freedom. Freedom thrives with a structure which means constraints.

What makes creative people creative isn’t having some Muse visit them throughout the day. Creative people carve out time to do creative acts.

They serve their art because art doesn’t serve anyone.
