“The best thinking has been done in solitude,” Thomas Edison once said, “the worst has been done in turmoil.”
This sentiment, from the inventor of the phonograph, feels particularly relevant in a world where technology has made it easier than ever to work, create and collaborate – while making it harder to find the space to think clearly. We have powerful tools at our fingertips, but they bring their own demands: emails, notifications, messages, multiple tabs and the temptation to multitask. With AI accelerating the journey from idea to execution, it’s easy to move from input to output without stopping to think.
