I came across this infographic and found that it leads to a fantastic resource that I must share with you. I’ve been exploring my own creativity for a while now and there are a lot of good tips here that I’m taking on board.
33 Habits of Highly Creative People
- Just start something
- Get your ideas out in a tangible way (it makes room for new ones).
- Perfect your ideas through trial and error.
- Enjoy the process of your project.
- Don’t over-think or judge your initial work.
- Make ‘creating’ a priority in your schedule.
- Give yourself time to play at the beginning of a project.
- Write down every idea; don’t let any get away.
- Read a great book – something that challenges you.
- Build a reservoir of ideas + inspiration either in digital or analog form.
- Make a plan and stay true to your creative vision.
- Make time for what you love.
- Give yourself hours – not minutes – to create.
- Walk away from a project, come back and make revisions.
- Ideally, travel to a foreign city. In a pinch, a good run or bike ride will do.
- Work on multiple projects at once to avoid getting hung up on one project.
- Keep experimenting; the best things come this way in art, work and life.
- Commit! Work on your craft every day – even if it’s only for 15 minutes.
- Find a theme you like and run with it. Then, edit it down to a few gems.
- People watch (everyone tells a story).
- Throw on some energizing music and take a dance break.
- Create a visual board of things that inspire you.
- Try a different routine.
- Don’t succumb to fear (talent is 90% drive).
- Build confidence through research.
- Accept failure as part of the process.
- Relax and get out of your head.
- Bounce ideas off a trusted friend.
- Push yourself out of your comfort zone.
- Don’t get wrapped up in what other people are doing.
- Discover when and where you are most productive.
- Get off your computer and get out your paints, or pens, or whatever medium you love.
- Design and create for yourself, and everything else will fall into place.
