I’ve always been fascinated by how productivity techniques can bridge seemingly unrelated fields. As a CTO in biomedical engineering, I’ve leaned on tools like time-blocking and prioritization to manage complex projects. But lately, I’ve been diving into mythology as a personal passion, and I’m curious how do others stay productive when researching or writing about such expansive, abstract topics?
Mythology feels like it operates on a different timeline compared to engineering. There’s no clear “solution” to chase, just layers of interpretation and connections to uncover. For those who study or write about myths, how do you structure your work without stifling creativity? Do you borrow methods from other disciplines, or have you found approaches unique to the humanities? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you.
Myths ain’t got no deadlines, but chaos ain’t productive either. I chunk research into themes, then free-write raw thoughts structure comes later. Steal from agile: iterate like the stories evolved over time.
While spontaneity has its merits, structured time management enhances productivity and reduces unnecessary stress. Embracing chaos often leads to inefficiency.
