Daily Creative: Deviate from Routine
ByToday’s creative opportunity is to get you thinking outside the box… or the office, or the home. It’s all about getting you outside of your comfort zone!
Instead of your usual routine, shake it up and deviate from your “usual”. Take a different route to work, eat dinner sitting at a different spot at the table, listen to a different radio station, drink tea instead of coffee, read a book instead of watch TV. Think of anything you can do to break your routine up and force yourself to shift your brain and your “auto-drive”.
The exercise is designed to make you use a different part of your brain. To make you actually think and live in the moment, as you are going through some of your more mundane activities. It may really seem strange to do this or it may be really fun. The point is to stimulate your brain activity, which leads to more creative thinking!
The challenge is just for today, but I would like you to repeat this on a regular basis, such as the first Tuesday of every month… just think what an impact breaking out of your routine would have on your day!
