That may be the best-ever quote about creative flow.
The creative process succeeds in one direction (consuming ideas and then creating) and stalls in the other (trying to create and then looking for ideas).

@thisiskp_ In practice, consuming and creating aren’t separate activities; they’re connected and fold together like an accordion. 
@thisiskp_ Start pulling apart the accordion and more activities emerge:
To create, curate. To curate, consume.
Keep pulling and the full creative stack appears: to consume, collect; to collect, explore, and so on for seven more levels!

@thisiskp_ The key is to start from the bottom of the creative stack and move ⬆️ not ⬇️.
If we’re stuck, the best thing we can do is switch from creative mode to receive mode.
To quote Kirby Ferguson, “Creativity comes from without, not from within.”

@thisiskp_ It’s rarely the case we need to curate better or collect more; most of the time our antennae just need tuning.
The right creative direction is nature’s smile developer: we’re happy when we’re in the flow, reading and thinking and putting something new into the world.
