I don't think it's at all possible to create something meaningful in a state of stress. As I go back to entertaining ideas to bootstrap a business, the more seriously I take myself and the more pressure I add to myself (e.g. in the form of deadlines), the worse my outcomes are. In order to create, one must embrace uncertainty, follow our curiosity & instincts, and let it be. Hard to do, but necessary I believe.
