Hacking for Creativity

You’re the creative type right? A writer, entrepreneur, photographer, blogger, podcaster etc…and you are tapped out of creative juice? Don’t get down on yourself it happens to all of us. Oftentimes, we just need a little inspiration and great dialogue to unlock our hidden potential.

How do you do that? Some of my best ideas came very easy. I was able to do this two different ways.

1. Talking with others. To do this your coworkers, friends nor family just won’t do. We need to brainstorm with other like minded creatives like us. Those people to who challenge us by engaging in intellectual dialogue. Daily activities and conversation tend to become stagnant.
2. Listening to music. Music is a universal language. To be perfectly honest any day I go without listening to my favorite artists I feel off. Listen in a place without distractions, feel the music, analyze the lyrics. Try to deduce what the artist was going through while writing each song. My music of choice is pop.

Here is a prime example. My private Facebook group The Podcast Discovery Center (PDC) just reached its one thousandth member. I co-founded this group with fellow Podcaster Scott Doucet. We’ve never met in person and he lives in Canada some 2000 miles away from me.

Everytime Scotty and I (or any other group members) chop it up we always inadvertently bouce ideas back and forth. There is an energy between us. Some synergetic forces cause a chain reaction in our minds.

CREATE!
