Antimethodic

/ˌæntiːməˈθɒdɪk/ adjective

Definition

Opposed to or not following a systematic method or organized approach to doing things.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + methodic (from Greek methodos, meaning 'way' or 'method'). The term emerged in the 17th century to describe things that deliberately reject orderly procedures.

Kelly Says

This word perfectly captures the creative chaos of someone like Steve Jobs, who famously rejected methodical corporate processes to innovate—sometimes the best breakthroughs come from being antimethodic!
