Crunch time. Cramming. Waiting until the very last minute. These words conjure the exhilarating adrenaline rush that I, for one, am prone to humblebrag about, like I do about being overly busy or super-tired. It sounds better to say that procrastinating allows me to do my best work than to admit I have poor time management and mediocre self-discipline. But what I have long thought to be a weakness may actually be a secret weapon for creative success. As it turns out, the time we spend not completing our to-dos may be the thing that gives us the boost of divergent thought we need to create better solutions.
