Welcome to the 2nd day of creativity challenge. Yesterday, we talked about how to show creativity and mentioned that small and creative work is like stretching of the brain.
Today, we will throw some resistance bands.
If you think of creativity as a free wheeling and infinite activity, adding rules may seem anti -intuitive. but Research show The empty canvas (literally or non -ruins) can interfere with creativity by allowing your thoughts to drift in the most familiar and most original places.
Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, a senior research scientist of the Yale Emotion Intelligence Center and the author of “Creativity Choice,” said, “We must leave the clear thing due to constraints.” “They help us make creative energy for productive purposes.”
Think about the improvisation comedy: Learning often creates a scene based on words or phrases that scream from the audience. My friend, Jane Borden, explained how the bitter and the former improviser improved the creativity of the cast.
“One word suggestion is to provide you with a small rail track and to develop an idea around it,” she said. “If you don’t have a track, you can actually interfere with the entire process because your heart is actually evaluating and listening to doubts.”
But constraints can come in different forms. Dr. Seuss wrote “green eggs and ham” using 50 different words. James C. Kaufman, a professor of educational psychology at Connecticut University, who teaches creativity, allows students to compose short stories without using letters. You can impose restrictions on everyday tasks. One week dinner plan -Pasta is not allowed.
Research show Improving creative thinking from working in pharmaceuticals lasts when the work is completed. As you can see in all activities this week, creative warmups can have the remaining effect.
