The Mindset, Materials, and Methods for Generating and Developing Creative Ideas
Why aren’t we ever formally taught the strategies to become more creative?
Our ability to generate, develop, and bring life to new ideas is the foundation for the life we all want to lead…
…and yet, at every turn we’re taught habits, routines, and belief systems that squash our creativity flat.
Why We Struggle
Many people stop believing they’re creative by adulthood.
They go about their everyday lives saying to themselves, “I’m not a creative person, I like my facts and my plans. I could never be an artist.” Or, “How can they expect me to just come up with ideas like that? It’s not like I’m a creative person. I’m an accountant for goodness sake!”
We’ve been taught to believe that creativity is something you’re born with… or not.
The concepts of right-brained and left-brained people, and myths of the creative geniuses out there who have always been artists, or performers, or writers have permeated every part of our society.
And what’s more, we’re taught that if you’re rational, logical, structured, strategic, or scientific… you CAN’T also be creative.
And all of that is just. Plain. Wrong.
That’s where the strategies and structures for creative idea generation and development come into play.
How Great Creatives are Made
When we hear of great new artists, musicians, performers, or creative thinkers, it’s easiest to assume they were born with an innate ability to create.
And while that might be partially true, there are actually proven methods that anyone can use to more easily receive, generate, or develop creative ideas.
But since these skills are not widely known…
…we don’t usually think about how we could use our skills to be more creative in our own passions. In fact, we may not even know what those skills ARE!
And when we do look for help, a lot of the advice out there is based on pseudoscience, or taken from the court of popular opinion.
It’s no wonder so many of us have trouble receiving, capturing, and developing those “shower thoughts” and “bolt-out of-the-blue” moments into full-fledged ideas.
Learning How to Be Creative
I also used to think creativity was something that you either had or didn’t.
After feeling humiliated in a college course when I delivered a “boring” report, I ran to Student Services and asked the career counselor how I could learn to be more creative. He introduced me to the Torrance Creativity Test and ever since then I have worked at becoming more creative.
In my college course I knew I was just as smart and capable as the next person, I just didn’t know why everybody else’s ideas and presentations seemed more fun and creative.
What did they know that I didn’t?
By studying and learning various techniques for many years, I know exactly what they knew.
In the end, I realized that creativity is learned — NOT innate. And I got excited to learn more about how top innovators and professional creatives got that way.
The Surprising Secrets of the World’s Most Creative People
So what are the top innovators doing differently than most?
Well, a lot…
…but here are a few examples, to give you an idea about what goes into truly innovative ideas:
- They make time for the creative process.
Top innovators aren’t going to leave their creation up to chance. They actually schedule time into their days to be as creative as possible. They have set systems and habits for bringing out those creative moments, and they never waste a single idea.
- They allow themselves to play.
Play is an integral part of the creative process. The way we think when we’re “playing around” or ‘getting crazy” are the same ways we think when we’re at our most creative. The top innovators know that in order to get the best ideas out of themselves, they have to let themselves play.
- They don’t stop at one good idea.
In real life, and in the creative process, there could be hundreds of “good” answers that could work, and a handful of great ones that could change the world. Top innovators know that in order to get to the BEST ideas, you have to be tenacious enough to get through the rest of the ideas first.
You can find these characteristics in any great creative, from artists to engineers…
…but cultivating them in ourselves can be a challenge.
If only we could just use will power to make ourselves to be more playful or tenacious…
But wanting to improve these characteristics in ourselves is only the first step.
To strengthen these qualities until it becomes almost second nature, most of us will need structure and guidance.
Now you could spend years in retreats or invest thousands in workshops to help you build these skills.
But there’s an easier way — somewhere you can find the insights, exercises, and practices to be as creative as you want to be.
