7 TIPS ON DAILY CREATIVITY
Thread post ...
What does creative mean?
Imagination > Reality.
Take an abstract idea, turn it into reality.
That's a simpler take than trying to come up with "something original to life".

1/ Idea Bank
Found a great photo? Save it.
Love an infographic? Save it.
Like the website? Screenshot it.
Nothing in this world is original.
Only, better iteration of previous ideas.
Take an existing idea, improve upon it.

2/ Meet Pen and Paper
Something magical when pen meets paper.
You confine yourself.
You limit distractions.
You think, before writing.
Keep scribbling.
When you feel tired,
Keep Going.
The best ideas are the last 5 minutes.

3/ Show Up.
Creativity becomes difficult when we force it.
Our brain freezes because,
we're not used to it,
we rely on impulse,
and automatic reactions.
Instead, set a routine.
Do it daily.
Even on weekends.
Even on holidays.
Most importantly,
we show up.

4/ Reserve Creative Brain
We scroll Netflix & Youtube.
We are picky about cloth.
We became picky eaters.
F*ck all that.
Remove the illusion of options.
✅ Pick a channel
✅ Buy the same cloth
✅ Food turns to poop.
Reserve our brainpower for work.

5/ Do Boring.
Do the dishes.
Do daily walks.
Do laundry.
Fold cloth.
Read.
Lots of books.
Make friends with boredom.
Do the boring things that not many can endure.
Boredom allows you to think.
Let the subconscious mind take over.

6/ Offline Area
Nothing online gets on the area.
No tablet.
No Phone.
No TV.
No laptop.
I found my best ideas here.
(opss.. that's an iPad, wifi off)

7/ Read Books
When you read a book and find yourself unable to focus. It means you are addicted to the online world.
You're waiting for headlines.
Something funny,
nasty,
viral.
Don't.
Pick up a book.
Finish a chapter.
Read between the lines.
