- Read and take notes
- Be with other creative people
- Participate in creative challenges
- Don’t skimp and rest and recuperation
- Observe what they do and how they do
- Stop passive consumption of content, active consumption is fine
- Create an idea buffer and revisit past ideas hidden in your folders and notebooks
- Indulge in leisurely activities, such as being in nature, going for a hike or long walks
- Learn, and enroll in live courses that give your structure, accountability, and handholding
- Force yourself to come up with ideas and don’t stop until you come up with 10 ideas. Random topics are fine. You just want to activate your creative and idea muscles.
