Thanks for addressing this! When people think Lawyers & Creativity, they think they’re opposites. So .. You’re tapping into a very special niche. Eager to see where this goes!
Lawyers do creative work. Thank you for saying it! If we don't open our minds to that fact, we likely don't end up being creative in our work. Which makes for bad law, and just bad lawyers.
I learned of the idea of doing nothing as valuable for neural links to develop, from the Learning to Learn teacher Barbara Oakley (hence my obsession for toggling between "diffuse attention" and "focussed attention".)
This reminds me of the Alice in wonderland quote, "Don't just do something, stand there!". Doing nothing is so underrated.
Never heard that Ali story. It's a gem re creativity.
Love these moments in your newsletter Eric!

Thought provoking writing. Thanks Eric, and for the shout-out! :)
