Ideas for creativity
1. Creativity increases your productivity I figure I have to lead with this point in order to get some of you to actually consider adding something like creativity to your schedules. I completely understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the pace of modern life. However, sometimes making space and time for something new actually increases your energy so that you actually get MORE done. This is universally held to be true of exercise and nutrition, for example. And it’s true of creativity too! If you make time for creativity, it will increase your sense of happiness — and happiness is an energy booster. Creativity also increases your productivity because you start to get some clarity about how you want to spend your time and you’re able to use that knowledge to set effective boundaries. 2. Creativity strengthens your problem solving skills Developmental psychologists often talk about the importance of play to children. Creative play is the way children experiment with ways of thinking and try out new ideas. When you make time for creativity as an adult, the same thing is true. You step out of linear thinking, and begin to play and experiment with the tools of your choice. Experimenting being the key word; you try things out, you see what you like, you adapt. The stakes are low — this is something you do for YOU! Give your inner critic the night off, and approach your chosen activity with a sense of curiosity and playfulness. Creativity is not linear. By activating different neural pathways in your brain, you’ll strengthen your problem solving skills in other areas of your to-do list — and in your life.
