This was maybe the one point in the whole article I disagreed with. I find that I can only be creative if I start with unconstrained thinking. But maybe that's because my natural mode of thinking is to try and constrain things as quickly as possible (which is part of my job, I guess, as a technical person). But when I jump to constraints quickly, I often rule out answers that may make a lot of sense, even given the constraints, or end up forming the wrong constraints. Anyway, maybe being creative is just an exercise in fighting our inner biases. If you're an unconstrained thinker, it requires you to constrain things. If you're a constrained thinker, it requires the opposite. Anyway, I loved the article overall. Very thoughtful and inspiring.
