Creativity & chaos.

When Steve Jobs launched the iPhone in 2007, it "disrupted" everything.

Of course it disrupted Blackberry and Google and all the competitors. But it also disrupted the whole economy. It changed how companies did work and how people interacted with each other.

There was no organised way of doing this. There was no way of doing this "politely" without disturbing the way things were.

Similarly, when OpenAI gave us access to ChatGPT around a couple of years ago, again, no one was ready for it. Everything is getting disrupted again.

Sometimes we get too busy organising because we don't want to disrupt.

So, when you show up in your office with 7 copies of a book you read recently and give it to your boss and your team, and suggest starting a book club, you are disrupting everything.

When you go back home and hug your spouse before you get distracted by the phone or Netflix, you are again disrupting.

And when you start becoming conscious of your patterns, and start making healthier choices, you are disrupting everything again.

Creativity requires a little bit of chaos.
