Boredom leads to creativity.
Once mind is free from livelihood chaos, everyone becomes an artist.
Low or 0 creativity is the result of over-consumption or a busy mind.
Some of my observations on creativity:
1. Content consumption is inversely proportional to creative thinking.
More entertainment, more binge watching, more scrolling, more news, more work = Lesser and lesser creativity.
Avoid cheap dopamine and unreal joy from screens.
2. Read less, think more.
Reading less at a time but thinking more and more about it gives room to deeper understanding and creative ideas emerge.
(Creativity ∝ 1/Consumption)
3. Limiting beliefs kill creativity.
Assuming that I cannot do a particular thing; because I have no experience about it; is direct threat to potential creativity. You do it first, experience is the byproduct of action, not a prerequisite.
(“Believe it!” ~ Naruto)
4. Nature, ether and ideas.
It is said, and experienced, that you get better ideas in nature, while walking outside. Ideas come in mind directly from ether.
Be outdoor often.
Summary:
- Creativity ∝ Boredom
- Creativity ∝ 1/Consumption
- Read a little, think more.
- Limiting beliefs kill creativity.
- Ideas come from ether.
