"Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality overcomes everything." ~George Lois
Try imagining your creative task as distant and disconnected from your current location. This should encourage higher level thinking.
Imagine yourself forward in time; view your creative task from one, ten or a hundred years distant.
Our minds are desperate and hungry for new and absurdity in experiences. Read Alice in Wonderland, Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis like other absurd masterpieces.
Negative emotions states can creativity killers, but try to find ways to use them to boost creativity, you might be surprised by what happens.
People take path of least resistance for creativity by building on existing ideas. However if you take path of most resistance can lead to more creative solutions. Try off-road and less beaten paths.
Combining opposites is called 'Janusian thinking' (Janus is the many-faced Roman god). It sets up ridiculous combinations and see what happens.
Re-conceptualise your ideas from the fundamentals. Forget the solution for sometime, concentrate on the fundemental problem and ask right questions.
Apply creativity in everyday life in everything you do and you would
enjoy it.
Following are some techniques
1. Develop a Counter factual mindset
Think what could be taken out to improve something or a situation.
Think what could be added to improve something or situation.
2. Accept two problems are better than one
Recall similar problems that you or someone has solved before to help you solve the current problem.Gather all complication they will help exercise and expand your memory.
3. Develop Generic verbs
Write down the problem specific verbs to more generic ones, to reduce the problem to concepts from detail.
4. Argue the problem
People think better when they are arguing. They become broad minded by listning and more creative. Experts say when people engaged in a conflict generate more original ways of arguing.
5. Fall in love with your idea
Love creates stimulus helping our minds zoom out to new means.
6. Stop daydreaming all the time
Just start doing it!
We perform our best when our mind and body are in sync, as our thoughts become tied to our actions. It help us make decisions much faster. This is good for general activities we do everyday as we tend to follow protocols and repeat what we have being doing. But if you want to be creative get your minds going one way and bodies going the otherway. Recall a happy time when crying. Recall sad memories while smiling. Mind-body de-sync help us move outside of our comfort zone making new responses.
Creative individuals are more likely to be arrogant, little crazy and said to be bit eccentric.
Lies
People pay to view lies in TV, Films and Novels. Stephan Spillberg made an alien falling love with a group of kids in E.T. People sometimes enjoy lies when it is entertaining than reality.
Arrogance
Creative people are more open to new experiences and arrogant. You need to develop strong attitude of protecting your creative ideas.
Crazy!
Experts say that there is link between madness and creativity. They are able to imagine things outside norms, link mis-fitting things, change things up-sides down due to ecentricity
