In today's world of multiple communication devices available I believe we are creating our own time crunching by engaging more than we have in the past. For example more people are texting than voice calling on the phone and I would suggest it is more likely to text than to call; so we have created a new time consuming activity to our other activities. I guess I would pose the question: does not getting to meetings on time help creativity? Maybe so, remember that Napoleon didn't read his mail until it was about two months old (or some long time frame, my memory isn't sure on the exact time) but the point was by waiting to answer the mail; he force others to make decisions because he wasn't available. His response was if the problem still existed after this long time period it must be something important and it then was on his plate to resolve. So, maybe being late or not making meetings altogether might be a good thing for individual creativity?
