Creativity is all about solving problems and approaching situations in new ways. Are you struggling to keep your creative thoughts flowing? We’ve done the research and found three different ways that you can boost your creativity!
Learn Through Collaboration
Collaborating with and learning from others can boost your creativity! Great innovators excel when they discuss new ideas with others. Many major innovative ideas were created by teams of people who stayed together to both conceive and execute the idea, plan, and brainstorm for those projects. People who value collaboration will find it easy to work with and learn from others.
Do Something You Love
When you truly love what you do, you are naturally going to be more inspired and enthusiastic about creative problem-solving. Tasks that you have set aside for yourself are going to be very easy to approach with a positive attitude. If your job is not something that fuels your creativity try finding a hobby that can be your creative outlet. Creative hobbies can range from playing an instrument, painting, reading, or even playing a sport.
Understand the Importance of Non-Time
Non-time, according to Steven Kotler, is the vast stretch of emptiness in the early morning hours before those around him wake up. Because no one else is interrupting your alone time in these hours, this non-time belongs only to you. During this time, there’s luxury for patience, silence, and concentration. Whether your non-time is in the early morning or late evenings, building this space into your schedule will help you daydream freely and see alternative possibilities.
