Key Takeaways

1. Creativity is more muscle than magic.

We tend to think that creativity is only reserved for certain people, but everyone can be creative. There are things you can do to help expand your creativity, whether it be changing the canvas, putting music into your day, or collecting ideas everyday.

2. Hit the pause button when you're stuck.

At some point, you are going to get stuck. When that happens take a break, walk around or do something fun. Then look back through your collection of ideas to see if an idea will spark something.

3. Inspiration can come from anywhere.

You need to be prepared for when inspiration will hit... because it will. It may be an app or taking a picture with your phone, but you need a system to collect your ideas.
