Making Creativity Predictable (Instead of a Welcome Surprise)
We may never know
exactly where creativity comes from, but you can create the conditions
that invite it. One way to spur creative thinking is to spend some time
considering the problem you're trying to solve — and then walk away from
it. Letting the problem marinate gives your brain a chance to draw
connections and sort through possible paths forward. To help this
process, keep a journal of ideas that inspire you, whether they’re from
books, conference sessions, or random conversations. The goal is to have
something to refer to when you need a mental jolt. You can also get
inspiration by doing things that don’t interest you. Does a magazine
have an article on a topic that bores you? Read it anyway. You never
know where your next big idea will come from. Lastly, when inspiration
hits, stop what you’re doing and get to work. Don’t let those moments go
by without capturing your ideas on paper.
