Creative ideas we can apply immediately

Before we can enhance our creativity, we must understand what creativity is. Dictionaries generally define creativity as using imagination or original ideas to create something.

Most of us can recognise creativity but sometimes is unable to explain the meaning of creativity. But we recognise that we must use creativity in all aspects of our lives. Many inventions result from creativity, such as the 3M Post-it sticker notes.

So how can we be more creative?

1. Break from the routine

Doing things repeatedly over and over again may not enhance creativity. Sometimes it is better to take a different route to work to allow our brains to absorb new ideas. Spend time with various people over the week. You may pick up ideas to apply in your trade as you interact. If you drive to work, how about taking public transport for a few days?

2. Write down ideas as they come to mind

Sometimes our solution may come in our dreams. Sometimes, it may be an idea in another business that can become a solution to your own. As soon as any thoughts come to your mind, write them down before you forget them. If you are thinking of where to go on your weekend, write down any ideas that come to mind. Sometimes, an idea may come to you before you go to bed.

3. Take a break from your work

An answer or inspiration may come when you are resting from your work. Taking breaks may seem unproductive, but it may help your mind reset and think out of the box. Here, taking breaks will also encompass taking holidays abroad, where you can live in a different culture and see how others will solve a similar problem. Visit someone with whom you have not spoken for a long while. Maybe they can give you some unique answers to your problem.

For myself, the writing down method has been most helpful. Having an idea written down allows us to free our minds from overthinking. For example, I thought about what to write, and the word “creativity” came to my mind. Hence I wrote it down as “Find out how to be more creative”.

Try some of my recommendations and see if it helps you be more creative in solving some of your problems.

Different people have different styles of relating to creative thoughts. Some are quick to implement and try out new ideas. Even if you fail, your experience may lead you to another idea which may work.

Have fun trying different ways to be creative.
