Tips for boosting creativity
How to support creativity in simple ways?
1. Surround yourself with creative company.
2. Give yourself limitations – help yourself by asking questions: What would I do if I had a smaller budget, one banner, one post, etc.?
3. Drink enough fluids – 1% dehydration causes a 12% decrease in creativity.
4. Change the environment and perform automatic stereotypical activities (after a while you will find that you are bored and need to think of something).
5. Make lists of all your ideas for inspiration and to clear your head.

These days I find boosting creativity is easy. I just ask ChatGPT to do something creative - write 30 crazy names for a company, suggest 10 creative ways of doing X, find Y creative ways of solving problem Y :)

@busmark_w_nika Actually, it did! At least we couldn't come up with anything better. Although we have a few months till the launch so we keep thinking... But so far our star copywriter named ChatGPT is winning
@busmark_w_nika absolutely right!
I become too distracted when I'm spending too much time on the laptop trying to come up with new ideas and creating new stuff
I need a walk in the nature to refresh my mind and come up with new creative ideas
Encourage people to ask questions like 'why does it work this way? and 'what if we tried something different?' to inspire creativity.
@busmark_w_nika I tend to use online topics on LinkedIn and events on things like eventbrite and meetup that are focused on topics my target customer would be interested in
@busmark_w_nika oh hmm, i was only thinking about the physical environment, but you bring up a good point - having a clean virtual environment on your desktop/phone is definetly helpful too. one thing i do use for organization is google calendar, probably the best way to keep track of a busy week.
I love the list. I'd add breathing to that. Something simple like just bringing your attention and counting 4 in 4 out for a minute helps clear the clutter for me.
Alos def already following on twitter. We finally launched too!
I think the best way is talking to your users. One people always has own limit, but more people can get rid of it.
Also you need to approach creativity systematically. I mean creativity as any other complex task demands the sequential execution of specific actions. That is, for example, collecting information, analyzing it, systematizing it, processing it, and obtaining the desired result.
Surrounding yourself with other creatives is so important! It just gets the creative juices flowing for everyone!
Take a break. Sometimes, the best way to get creative is to step away from your work and let your mind wander. Go for a walk, listen to music, or do something else that you enjoy.
Collaborate with others. Bouncing ideas off of other people can be a great way to spark creativity. Talk to your friends, colleagues, or even strangers about what you're working on.
Go outside, talk to people, frequent cafes.
You'll be amazed at the things you learn and the things that come to you when you just move away from your screen.
One keyone Exercise. Your brain focuses on the activity and creativity flows from there.
Launching soon!
