Creativity requires practice. Just like any skill.

Yes, extremely creative people go after ideas with a club.


And yes, you can be creative on a schedule too.

It takes work.

Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music during a short life.

Bach wrote a cantata every week.

Einstein published 250 papers, Darwin 120, and Freud 330.

Rembrandt produced around 650 paintings and 2,000 drawings and Picasso more
than 20,000 works.

Edison accumulated 1084 patents; he created 3000 different ideas for lighting systems before he got one that worked well enough to commercialize, over the course of nearly 10,000 experiments. It took him five times as many efforts to perfect the storage cell battery!

They did not do this because they were gifted. They did it because, as Edison said,

These people did not just sit around having ideas. They innovated – went out and caused their ideas to happen.

Edison set an invention quota: a minor one every ten days and a major one every six months. Without this, he said, he would have accomplished nothing.

Yet most of Edison’s patents were never commercialized. Many of Mozart’s compositions have never been performed. Has even the greatest Picasso fanatic ogled every one of his works?
