Releasing Your Own *Creativity

  1. Focus on a specific target
  2. Don't evaluate your ideas until you have thought of a large number of alterrnatives
  3. Avoid rigid, set patterns of doing things
  4. Consider what the best possible outcome would be, temporarily ignore usual constraints on what can be done
  5. Approach problems/challenges with a child's curiosity; ask questions: How could this be better?
  6. Be open and receptive to your own ideas and those of others
  7. Spend time with creative people
  8. Read about unfamiliar topics; expose yourself to a wide range of different people and experiences
  9. Don't accept your first "right" ideas, think of as many as possible
  10. Relax; allow time for incubation
  11. Look for new relationships to ideas, not "right" or "wrong" answers
  12. Take risks; forget about "failure."
  13. Recognize and avoid unwarranted assumptions
  14. Visualize yourself being successful at whatever you are trying to create
  15. Break larger problems into sub-problems and work on them at a time
  16. Set aside some time to practice creative thinking every day
  17. Be flexible and persistent; keep trying different ideas until you find one that works


Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
