Yes, you heard it right.
Picasso once drew a dove on a handkerchief for a lady and asked for a million Francs. When the shocked lady inquired, “How can you ask for so much? It took you five minutes to draw this!” Picasso rightfully replied - “No, It took me 40 years to draw this in five minutes.”

In creative pursuits your productivity is not measured by your efficiency(outcome/time), it is determined by your output and how much you produce; even if it’s useless.
