Same. I found that the essential floats to the surface if you stop muddling the water. A free schedule, tea on the balcony and a long bicycle ride is how I get my best work done. I let ideas simmer for a while, and tackle them with a relaxed mind. Sometimes it's also good to just play and experiment. Without play we're just moody machines. It's just really hard to do things just because they're nice in an hypercompetitive society where it sometimes feels like there just isn't enough to go around. Stepping off the treadmill is a rare privilege.
