Lesson 34: We need more Creativitiy

Creativity is one thing that is currently lacking in many organizations and people.

Look at Apple they were once the master of creativity and it seems they've reached their limit.

Creativity is the key in the current changing economic and business environment, and that's why we need more people who can  bring new ways to perform duties and execute  strategies.

We need more people who can figure things out, people who can see what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought.


According to research, creativity can be learned and developed, that's why I suggest a new habit which can help you flex the idea muscle and build on the ideas you need to figure your way.


The 10 idea rule (Idea Machine)

This a new concept I want to share with you, I have found it very interesting and a way to exercise your mind, as we all know reading and thinking creatively is exercise to the brain just as exercise is important to the body

Every morning take a notepad and list 10 ideas on any topic  of your choice. The topic can range to anything bizarre to something logical. Ensure you stick to it till you list all the 10 ideas, this is the period when you are in the dip until you reach the target of 10 or more.


You can choose any topic eg

1. 10 Ideas on how to have a good day today
2. 10 ideas of a website
3. 10 ideas of  how I can improve on what I do
4. 10 ideas I can impress my girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/fiancee
5. 10 people I can reach out to
6. 10 ways I can save money
7. 10 things I learned yesterday

I started this exercise and now I'm addicted,  it has really helped me to come with good ideas when needed.

The good thing about this habit is that you continue exercising your brain and sometimes you can come up with a remarkable idea  that will benefit you. You become a hunter in this digital age, Ideas are the currency of life.

Start this today and you shall be grateful you did.

Happy idea hunting.
