Imagine you were asked to invent something new. It could be whatever you want, made from anything you choose, in any shape or size. That kind of creative freedom sounds so liberating, doesn’t it? Or … does it?
If you’re like most people you’d probably be paralyzed by this task. Why?
Brandon Rodriguez explains how creative constraints actually help drive discovery and innovation.
…
With each invention, the engineers demonstrated an essential habit of scientific thinking – that solutions must recognize the limitations of current technology in order to advance it.

Understanding constraints guides scientific progress, and what’s true in science is also true in many other fields.
Constraints aren’t the boundaries of creativity, but the foundation of it.
