The idea of having a system or process is to be able to;

- be intentional, consciously engage, and be present.

- participate by being active rather than passive.

- be consistent and reliable in timing, expectation, and quality.

- be finite by constraint around time, effort, or action.

If one wants just to keep winging it, it is still a choice and OK to be that.

That’s me. I wing it. I do this because I believe productivity as such is not a virtue.

I’m interested in creative breakthroughs, not maximizing any predictable or conceivable variable.

Most jobs and tasks in life don't need any "creative breakthroughs". The article is discussing scheduling, task prioritization and management. Fix this bug, implement this feature, schedule this doctor's appointment, do the dishes, buy toilet paper. No breakthroughs needed for those, creative or otherwise :)

I strongly believe in writing things down. But not so much in having a specific routine for it. The only criteria I have is to make it visible according to context. Some time I use Reminders.app, or I message myself in WA. I may also use an org file or my physical notebook. it’s pretty much the same as notes, I want them to be contextually visible. I don’t care to have a perfect filing system.

The practice: Shipping creative work by Seth Godin would be a good read.
