Working, Fast And Slow | Digital Tonto

I think you can learn something about a person through their relationship with books. Some read a lot of books, knocking off one a week, but never tackle anything challenging. Others will read a single book over the course of months. The truth is that there are different books for different purposes and, in the end, the reader takes possession of the experience. I write my books to be read somewhat slowly and put a lot of work and thought into creating an experience crafted for that pace. My friend Alex Osterwalder, on the other hand, has little interest in books like mine. He creates his books to be used rather than read, and puts a lot of thought and effort into developing that experience. But Alex and I don’t write for different people—we write for different modes of work. Alex’s books are designed for conference tables and sticky notes, my work is more likely to sit on night tables and beside couches. Alex’s work can be used by groups to collaborate, while the experience I work to create is intended to be more personal, experienced alone. To become productive, you need to master multiple modes of work, both fast and slow. To get things done we need to be efficient, creating OODA loops through observing, orienting, deciding and acting. At the same time, we need to take time to explore and reflect, so that we can recognize when the need arises to step out of the loop and go off in a new direction. As I wrote years ago in "Harvard Business Review," everyone can be creative. Despite decades of searching, researchers have never identified a “creative personality” or any such thing. What the evidence does show is this: to create work that is meaningful and original, we need to protect the time and mental space where meaningful, original work actually happens.
