The idea that imposing limits (or constraints) fuels creativity has cropped up a few times recently. First time was in Garr Reynold’s book on presentations.

I’m not sure why this should be a surprising concept to me as we have been using self imposed limitations (or patterns) for a number of years in software engineering.
Note: DarkRoom, the windows version of WriteRoom mentioned by Unclutterer can be found here.
