327: Having to be creative on cue

Design Life

About

Femke and Charli discuss how to be creative on demand and under time pressure. They cover getting into a creative headspace after hours of Zoom calls and building an environment where ideas can happen, because you can’t be creative from a to-do list. They also look at scheduling focus blocks, staying creative without a deadline, partnering up, and how creativity on cue will develop with AI.
