Multitasking slowly

Yesterday my partner recommended this episode of the TED Radio Hour podcast to help me think through the creative process I find myself in during this period of my life. The final segment stood out. It was about how both Einstein and Darwin developed their groundbreaking theories and books in parallel. When they got stuck, they’d switch tasks, work on something else, and revisit the original later. Not that I come close to them, but I find myself advancing creative projects in a similar way. It’s helpful to have validation that it’s possible to work like this and produce great work in the end.
