Screensaver
A simple on/off control for what your mind returns to when nothing is actively happening. When on, a neutral or steady thought fills the space. When off, whatever is loudest or most repetitive takes over.
John Mackey and the Decision to Sell to Amazon
Screensaver is what your mind returns to when nothing is actively happening — the default channel when you stop forcing an answer. John Mackey described waking up in the morning with the answer already there, having let the question sit in his mind rather than grinding at it analytically. His mental screensaver was the stakeholder question — 'what is the win-win-win?' — and it kept running in the background until the answer surfaced. That is a screensaver set to something steady and useful rather than noise.
