Summary

Fred Again.., the rising electronic music star, embraces tight creative constraints to fuel his prolific output. By giving himself just 35 minutes to create a song, he harnesses the power of time pressure and Parkinson's Law to breed creativity. This innovative approach challenges societal norms that prioritize endless 'deep work' time. Instead, Fred demonstrates how constraints can spark inspiration, from Kennedy's moon mission deadline to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel time crunch. The key is finding the sweet spot between constraint and flexibility to optimize creative flow.
