The definition of "creating more" is the elephant in the room. Do you stay focused on one subject, iterating multiple times over the result, in order to achieve incremental improvements? Do you explore a wide breadth of problems, giving you new perspectives on thinking about the problem at hand? Do you churn out mindless crap just for the sake of it?

It's a rather fuzzy and abstract philosophical notion and any attempts for an absolute framing of "the one single truth" are flawed.

I can accept those terms and must be as flawed as anybody else.

>Do you stay focused on one subject, iterating multiple times over the result, in order to achieve incremental improvements?

Yes.

>Do you explore a wide breadth of problems, giving you new perspectives on thinking about the problem at hand?

Yes.

No.

I just like to churn out mindless crap when it's absolutely required.

This is what takes up most of many people's time.

You're going to have to churn out some mindless crap anyway, so when you do things for the sake of it try your very best to make it non-mindless for a change.

Sometimes the mindless, or the crap, or the stuff for the sake of it can be the glue that binds all efforts in a way that they are always moving forward together though.
