I was peripherally interested in the idea of meditation for a long time before actually sitting down and trying it. The thing that finally pushed me over the edge to start practicing was meditation’s practical implications: its potential impact on creativity and productivity.

In an ideal world, the road from idea to reality is proven and predictable, with a distance made fathomable by visible benchmarks. But more frequently – especially in pursuit of less linear concepts like art, drastic innovation, or even paradigm shifts – time is mutable and you can’t project when completion will come.
