In a rut? Look for what is being offered! Play the "What If" game. Allow yourself to ask "stupid" questions and play with ideas. Find the playground of your unconscious mind. Figure out what kinds of situations let your subconscious mind wander and explore. Know where you want to go. Set up a Just start. Jump in. Create something. Write things down. Anything. It helps you remember ideas, hone and refine the good ones, and cull out the less promising ones. Control the impulse for perfection. Adopt "create and iterate" as a method (there are always exceptions to this one. Some things DO need to be polished upon release.) Justin's Creative Goals for this year  I. HOW am I going to create? Creativity is not a single ability or a single act. It’s a combination of thoughts and actions that yield outcomes which are later identified as original and worthwhile. It’s really a pattern of behavior, or a methodology. In order to be at our most creative, it helps to first create the conditions conducive to fostering creativity. 1. DESIGNATE TIME: creative work (2-3) hour blocks 3+ times a week John Cleese on creativity “A Moment of Insight” — • The answer arrives when we least expect it. • As soon as it arrives, we know it is the solution. It feels like a revelation. 2. REST: pause, sleep, recreation, breathing, stretching, hiking, walking, exercise, nutrition “Sharpen the saw” - Stephen R. Covey Your mind is your primary creative tool. It is the master of your eyes, ears, mouth and hands, and you are the master of your mind. But remember that your mind lives inside your body. It only has access to the resources provided by your body for its health, and your body only as access to the resources you provide for it. So eat right, exercise, and get enough rest. 3. PLAY: reflect, daydream, ponder, muse, wonder, meditate How to inspire creativity according Zig Ziglar: Make time to be quiet. Go walking. Unwind your mind. Think on the information you have received. New ideas will be born from the combination of information in the quiet reflective times. Jonah Leher - “Creativity is not a single thing. We call it creativity as if there were just one way to be creative, but creativity is really a catch-all term for a variety of distinct thought processes, each of which is essential at different parts of the process.” “Our brains consume more energy when we’re daydreaming than they do when we’re focused.” “Creativity is the residue of wasted time.” - Einstein “The itch of unwritten words…” - Bob Dylan 4. Clean studio: organize space weekly, de-clutter, dust “Cleanliness is next to godliness” 5. Prioritize main things: P.O.W.E.R. = paint, organize, write, exercise, read Show and Tell Jon: The website www.99u.com - Insights on making ideas happen Justin: How to Draw by Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CREATE THIS YEAR?  

 Author Daniel Coleman on Writing and the Creative Process | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

As I was thinking about getting this podcast started, I met Dan Coleman. I met him while shooting his incredible family photos and we bonded immediately. He is a writer in Utah and is as fascinated with creativity as I am. I interviewed him in anticipation of That Creativity Podcast becoming a reality and am excited to put the conversation out for you all! Look for more collaboration with Dan going forward as well. He's a great guy and a talented artist. Dan can be found at: http://dcolemanbooks.com/ You can purchase "Gifts and Consequences" on Amazon.com.
