Everything today feels incredibly convenient, instant deliveries, AI tools, one-tap shopping. But as our lives get easier, are we losing something important? In this Korean Podcast episode, we explore how too much convenience might be quietly stealing our creativity, patience, and ability to think deeply.

Korean Podcast | Losing Creativity in a Convenient World

西班牙和葡萄牙停电了。法国一些地方也停电了。火车停运。飞机不能飞。汽车无法行驶，因为交通信号灯失灵。商店关门。人们无法使用电话。不能刷卡。

没人知道为什么会这样。有人说是天气原因。有人说是电力系统出了大问题。葡萄牙领导人说是天气原因。西班牙领导人要求人们在必要时才使用电话。

现在有些地方恢复供电了，但不是所有地方。许多人在等待。没有电力的生活是很艰难的。由此可见，人们每天多么需要电力。

Convergent Thinkers vs. Divergent Thinkers: Is One Better Than the Other?

verybody is capable of both convergent and divergent thinking, depending on the situation. However, it’s natural to lean more toward one or the other when approaching problems and projects.

“Some people have a natural preference for divergent thinking. They are the people in organizations who love to come up with new ideas,” says Manning, “They are also the people who are most useful when solving daunting, complex challenges because they are more likely to articulate ideas that are new and useful.”

The real issue lies in becoming too reliant on one method of thinking. “Too much divergent thinking can lead to endless ideation and no solutions. Too much convergent thinking can lead to no new ideas and ‘analysis paralysis,’”

Project Management and the Lure of Convergent Thinking
That’s a trap that project management professionals—who are notoriously married to their plans and processes—can fall into easily.

Let’s break this all down with some examples. Divergent thinking starts with an objective—perhaps you need to generate 1,000 new leads within a month. You start by brainstorming creative ideas and solutions to satisfy that goal: happy hours with famous speakers, direct mailers including $100 gift cards, a man in a gorilla suit on the corner of Times Square.

From there, you move into evaluating those options and settling on the one(s) that works best. This is an example of convergent thinking.

Let's continue later today on this topic and explore it further. See you soon.
