Another lovely quote in a similar vein is quoted in Rettig's The Lifelong Activist: "Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work." --Gustave Flaubert I do agree with this quote wholeheartedly, though it took me a while to get it.

Few things are more frustrating than having the ideas flowing but no way to capture them; whatever you do come up is usually lost, and you begin to try to fight the ideas so that you don't lose them, and hence they never come. @ QRW: Thanks for the comment.

I consider myself very creative, but also very anal. I regularly submit my creativity to my systems of organization, because if I don't, if I don't make lists and outlines and next steps and all that great GTD stuff, I feel out of control. That's not conducive to creativity - that's stifling. Structure allows my creativity to flourish and flow.
