WHATS
IS
CREATIVITY

ACTUALLY
??
• Creativity skills are more important today than they’ve ever been before.

• Industries of all kind are always on the lookout for creative people or creative

thinkers who have creative thinking skills that will help their company shine.

• But creative ideas can be a dime a dozen and it can be challenging to exhibit

creative problem solving.

 Time and Space

• The most important creative skill you can have is patience.

• You need to be patient in order for ideas to come and creativity to flourish.

• When giving yourself time and space to declutter your mind, you will find

that ideas begin to flow.

Goals
• Having goals gives you a direction to focus your energy.

• Rather than wasting energy on various endeavors, having specific goals can help you concentrate and

achieve more.

• Make notes of the ideas you have so you can go back to them.

• When you feel that they’re ready to be realized, move them to a goal list.

• Then, you can get to work.

 Discipline

• Equally as important as the drive to create is the discipline to keep creating and

seeing things through.

• Even when you don’t feel like creating, keep at it.

• Regular exercises and maintaining a schedule will help you be creative when you

need to be.
 Open mind

• Allowing yourself to accept new ideas is an extremely important part of creativity.

• If you can accept new knowledge without judgement and see it for what it is,

there is always something useful to be found.

• Practice looking at things for what they are and you will found yourself seeing

new ways to express them.
