Article Overview: DO you sometimes get a block and cant seem to get down and be creative? Here are some simple tips that may help release that blockage from time to time.

Tips to Help Your Creativity



These are some handy tips I have gleaned through re-reading The Magic of Thinking Big by David J Schwartz.

Now this is so easy for you to do, and at the same time, it canbe easy not to do. In reality it is totally up to you, all you have to do is to Take 10 minutes at the beginning of each day. Block the time out in your diary or in your schedule and ask yourself the following: You will need paper and pen to note any thoughts down.

1. How can I do better job today? - list down all the thoughts that come to mind don't discriminate now, jot down everyting.

2. Ask yourself, what can I do today to encourage my colleagues or those around me.

3. What special favour can I do for my clients / customers / family or friends

4. What can I do to improve my personal efficiency today

This is so simple an exercise to do, and it really does help you to focus on the tasks to hand on a daily basis.

In his book David J Schwartz talks about having a self improvement plan. What is this you say. Well, by asking the questions above and blitzing out the ideas on a piece of paper, you will eventually come up with a plan that you can effectively put into place during that week, and over time if monitored or reviewed will show practical improvements and results.

Be more receptive to ideas given to you by other colleagues, co-workers, clients. Get rid of the ‘can't work' ‘not the way it is done' attitude. Be more open as to how it can be done, expanding on the thoughts and ideas to create more positive ideas and possibly solutions. Sometimes out of the blue ideas seem to come to you, either have a little jotter with you to record these thoughts and ideas, or simply record them. These days most mobile phones come with a recording facility on them, why not take advantage of this.

Sometimes we get inspired by what we are surrounded with, so go out there and inspire yourself right now to be creative. Ideas could come from the news, media, friends, situations so many places.

I have found having friends who are equally receptive to new ideas helps me, as I can 'bounce' things off them, and eventually collectively an idea is born...

Internet Marketing - Creativity or originality would be good words. you might want to try two words; after all, you are trying to suggest a complex idea that combines at least two concepts: marketing and internet. in other words, the concept has to evoke an action (marketing), how (honestly, responsibly?) and by what means you are going to carry that action out (internet). I hope this helps; Good luck!
