Curb Unproductive Habitsĭo you stay up late at night watching television? Are Facebook or Instagram taking up hours of free time at night? Or perhaps you’re spending your attention checking emails on your phone? Similarly, breaking out of comfortable genres will introduce you to new voices and ideas.Ĭreative people go in search of fresh and challenging ideas. Have you ever read a boring book and kept going to the end? Or do you read a lot of books from the same genre? If you’re past page 50 and don’t like the book, put it down and move onto something more exciting. I also learnt about it from Natalie Goldberg’s writing book Writing Down the Bones. A writer teacher first introduced me to this technique. The goal is to extract as many ideas as possible from your creative mind, no matter how outlandish. Don’t stop to edit yourself, refine your ideas or question anything. Pick a single topic and write about whatever comes to mind for at least twenty five minutes or one Pomodoro. Open up a new document using your word processor of choice.Īlternatively, use a notebook and pen. Free writeįreewriting is a powerful method of idea generation. Use colors and images to inject a visual feel into your mind map.Draw related ideas that branch of the main idea.Write down the topic at hand in the centre of the pages.You can use markers and paper or dedicated ming mapping software. If you’re a student or educator, this creative technique can also help with learning and recall. It’s similar to brainstorming, although it works better if you’re working alone rather than collaborating with a team. Mind mapping is another technique geared towards the creative mind. Continue for at least twenty five minute.
Write down every possible solution, no matter how outlandish.Write in on a whiteboard or piece of paper.They don’t take too long, and most people are familiar with the technique. If you’re out of ideas, holding a brainstorming session can help you or even your team with idea generation. “I placed the highest priority on the sort of life that lets me focus on writing, not associating with all the people around me.” 2. I also like the Japanese author Haruki Murakami’s explanation for why he says no in What I Talk About When I Talk About Running : “Mr Bellow informed me that he remains creative in the second half of life, at least in part, because he does not allow himself to be a part of other people’s ‘studies.’ “ Next, there’s the Canadian-American writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Saul Bellow. “‘It is only half an hour’ – ‘It is only an afternoon’ – ‘It is only an evening,’ people say to me over and over again but they don’t know that it is impossible to command one’s self sometimes to any stipulated and set disposal of five minutes – or that the mere consciousness of an engagement will sometime worry a whole day.” He did it by saying no and by focusing on his writing: Creative People say no all the time :Ĭharles Dickens wrote over a dozen novels and numerous short stories and essays. It’s not rude, impolite or anti-social to say no.
