I am always interested in new ideas. I also feel like I have to constantly up the creativity factor in the field I work in. Maybe an impossible task but this interview seems to point at work we can do to boost our creativity:
How To Unleash Your Creativity
I like Julia Cameron’s “morning pages”—three pages of longhand writing about anything: “I don’t like the way Fred talked to me at the office”; “I need to get the car checked”; “I forgot to buy kitty litter.” They don’t look like they have anything to do with creativity, but in fact, as we put these worries, which are sort of a daily soundtrack for most of us, down on the page, we are suddenly much more alert, aware, focused and available to the moment. And we begin to see that we have many creative choices.
Creativity is problem solving. Serious/educational games can foster this kind of thinking. In play and dreaming we sometimes visualize creative solutions. I remember reading somewhere about dreams being the way the brain processes and stores information, forms memories and connections. I’ll try to find that.
