𝟭) 𝗧𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲
You can't get creative when you're drowning yourself in noise
Turn off your pc, stash your phone away & find a quiet place
You'll be much more creative
𝟮) 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
Sounds so simple, yet it's so important
Many have sleepless nights trying to have a creative breakthrough
When really they should go to bed early and let their creative breakthrough come to them in the morning
𝟯) 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲
Go to places that inspire you
Maybe you are inspired by nature, maybe by art museums, maybe by busy streets
The right places will make you feel 10x more creative
𝟰) 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲
Hang out with people that are creative & can inspire you
There's a reason why artists flock to paris & tech gurus flock to silicon valley
Iron sharpens iron, creatives sharpen creatives
Perfect mix of collaboration & competition
𝟱) 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀
Know when you are most creative & go do your creative tasks then
Personally I am at my most creative during mornings or the hour before I go to bed. So I use that time for creativity
I don't try to be creative during my 3PM energy dip
𝟲) 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆, 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁
Every great artist learned by copying other masters
When you're in a rut, go see what the competition has done & copy them
Strengthen your own creative voice by learning from the voices of giants
𝟳) 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽
One of the main reasons why you don't feel creative, is because the problem you're facing is too big
Cut it up into smaller pieces & start solving those
You'll create creative momentum this way that allows you to tackle the big problems
𝟴) 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
If you want to produce better, you have to consume better
Stop watching reality shows and go read a book instead
Stop scrolling your instagram and go visit a museum
Physical food decides your health, mental food decides your creativity
𝟵) 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲
Sometimes you'll get stuck & it's better to ask someone else to create something for you
Or to ask someone to give you orders on how to fix it
Creativity is looking at problems with new perspectives
These perspectives don't always have to be yours
𝟭𝟬) 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲
Sometimes no matter what you do, you just don't get any creative inspiration
When that happens, there's only one thing you can do
Go sit at your task and don't get up until you're done
Force yourself through it
You won't get your best results that way, but you will force yourself through your creative block
Sometimes you just have to push through the mud to get to the other side of a rut
You'll find your creativity returns to you when you do
