I bet neurofeedback could be used to help people distinguish between ideas originating with memory retrieval and ideas that they are constructing.
I also bet that some decline in creativity has to do with decreasing sleep with age. Older people sleep less. More productive people sleep less. More productive people are less creative.
I have no idea, but I think could be a lot more to it than that.
I can agree from my experience in the sense that the more I find myself working on tasks, the less time I have for “thinking,” particularly more “out-of-the-box thinking.”
But I don’t know if this is true in general, or at least how many people this would apply to.
I also think it depends how you define “productivity.” If you give more productivity weight to creative ideas, even though they be less tangible and more sparse, then the statement’s not necessarily true.

“More productive people are less creative.”
Is this fact?
