1. Consume everything
The first step in creativity is consumption.
Consume:
- Podcasts
- Interviews
- Music
- Novels
- Poetry
Pick the very best, and cram it all in.
You need raw material to work with

2. Do nothing
That's it. Nada.
Take a break, go on holiday, have a bath, go for a walk.
Just do nothing. Let your subconscious mind do the work.
Trust me.
(P.s. regular exercise helps with this one)

3. Have the idea
If you've done the first two stages right, this is the easy bit.
As you're out running, or in the shower, an idea will appear.
Write it down, share it with somebody.
Mix it with all your other ideas and see what's good.

4. Do the work
Test your idea.
Build your product, your project, your community.
Float it past a few people you trust, start creating it.
Things will change as you work through, that's okay.
It's all part of the process.

Fill your mind with good material, and let it work.
Oh, and practice practice practice.
You need to have the bad ideas in order to get to the good ones.
