The Case for Unstructured Time

Good Morning Minds,

What if our brightest ideas only spark in the wild, unexpected moments—those serendipitous flashes that catch us off guard?

I’ve noticed my own “lightbulb moments” arrive unexpectedly.

They reshape my entire schedule in an instant.

They burst like fireworks, lighting up new paths I hadn’t planned.

But then I try to squeeze them in rigid schedules, and the flow stalls.

Could it be that creativity withers when spontaneity succumbs to structure?

I wonder if my days have become too predictable—do yours feel spontaneous enough to let those sparks fly?

See you tomorrow

James
