10 Ways to Be More Creative

Creative thinking skills involve looking for many possible answers rather than just one. We need to be prepared to make mistakes in order to learn what worked well and what didn't.

1. Allow the flow of wild and crazy suggestions, without any criticism.

2. Treat all ideas as if they may contain the seeds of something potentially useful.

3. Practice free-form activities such as doodling, daydreaming, playing with a theory or suggestion, brainstorming , and storyboarding.

4. Ask the same question at least twenty times and give a different answer each time.

5. Combine some of the features of two different objects or ideas.

6. Substitute people, resources, or places.

7. Magnify or minimize the frequency, size, or resources.

8. Eliminate, condense, omit, streamline.

9. Rearrange or reverse layout, sequence, roles, pace, habitual perspectives and routines.   

10. Polarize two competing viewpoints by expanding them to ridiculous extremes.
