Creativity Hacks: Practical Magic for Entrepreneurs
Creativity doesn’t require hours of staring at a blank page. Simple shifts can yield big results.
We wait for inspiration to strike, then get frustrated when it doesn’t fit our work schedule.
- Inspiration hunting: Actively seek new ideas: art shows, non-industry blogs, diverse conversations.
- Timebox your brainstorm: 20 minutes, focused burst, then walk away. Your brain works in the background.
- Constraints force innovation: Set weird limitations for a task (“no internet allowed” etc.)
- Change your environment: Coffee shop, park bench – changing scenery shifts your thinking.
- Mind-mapping frees association: Dump everything in your head on paper, unfiltered.
- Collaborate with unexpected partners: Someone outside your field brings a fresh take.
