I work with some fantastic creatives. When we have our weekly meetings, it’s usually about efficiency updates or new new tools available. Leaning too much on working smarter not harder can start to silence the creative side. I wanted a quick group exercise that could alert the right side of our brain so I led an exercise I used to do with kids when I nannied in my college years.
- Take a pen/pencil and slap a bunch of dots on a page
- Connect the dots and it makes a bizarre shape
- Doodle for 15 min within your new shape and don’t stop. Keep creating
When a creative plans out his/her day to knock out all the projects needed, it can corrupt the creative side with too much planning and doesn’t leave room for failure (growth comes from failure). Waking up not knowing what you are going to create opens the door to good habits
