Let's learn a little about creativity.
Shouldn't we all learn about this?
Creativity is seen as some sort of gene that you either have or don't have.
Maybe not, author Robert Keither Sawyer says. It's a muscle, and everybody has it, but some are exercised more than others.
Takeaway.
Let's exercise our muscle: Ask questions. Stretch and squeeze ideas. State of flow. Seek knowledge. Look with fresh eyes. Watch for serendipity. Play in daily life. Ideate: Ideas, ideas, ideas...catch them. Fuse. Cook on all the burners. Remote associations. Choose. Look past the good. Tinker. Make.
Oh, there's lots more.
