TO BE MORE
IMAGINATIVE
This is all about generating better quality ideas:
1 BE: insatiably curious, irrepressibly optimistic, deeply
empathic and play well with others.
GET CURIOUS: Read something you normally wouldn’t.
2 Watch something you never have. Be a discoverer. Sit in a
café and just observe people. Ask What, How and Why?
3 GET VISUAL: Immerse yourself in photos, illustrations,
paintings, sculpture, something from the world beyond words.
Paint your challenge. Create a themed Pinterest Mood Board.
4 GET GOING: Go on a journey – get on a bus, train, subway, in
your car, on a bike and the creative wheels may start spinning.
GET SOCIAL: Tweet. Talk. Wander through cyberspace with
5 your eyes and ears open to anyone and everything. Go ideas
networking. Invite someone dangerous to tea!
6 GET INSPIRED: Crack open a classic. Try poetry. Search for
great quotes online. Read Stories. Read Blogs.
GET GOOFY: From Goofy. Winnie, Elmo, Bart, Bugs to
7 Einstein or Leonardo …. Doesn’t matter. Suspend your
disbelief and try living inside a crazier or different character
for a while.
GET INQUISITIVE: Ask questions. Ask for suggestions. Ask
8 someone else - you may get a point of view that points you in
a new direction. Ask What, How and Why?
GET YOUNG: Revisit immaturity. Assume a beginner’s
9 mindset. Surround yourself with kids, Lego, crayons, toys and
the good Dr.Seuss. Ask why and then ask it again? Develop a
childlike sense of wonder.
GET SWEATY: Give your brain a break. Put your body in
10 motion. Wear it out. And then get in the shower to let your
brain come storming back to life J.
