6 Doable Ways People Are Going Plastic-Free

As I write this article, I'm surrounded by plastic. On my desk alone, there's a plastic bag from Target, a plastic container of plastic wall hooks, a plastic water bottle, my plastic mouse and keyboard-the list goes on.

Think About Your Why

It’s important to nail down why you want to go plastic-free. Having a strong, defined sense of purpose will help you stay the course when things inevitably get tough and inconvenient.

...

Understand What’s Possible

It’s a matter of reducing where you can and reusing the plastic you can’t avoid. Because absolute zero-waste is actually not possible.

You have to think of how exactly do you stop using it. So you first have to understand what’s truly feasible.

Start with Your Beverages

Perhaps the best place for people to start cutting out plastic is in your drinking habits:

Carry along a travel mug for your coffee
Invest in a reusable water bottle
Buy a few metal or glass ones to carry in your bag.

Plan Creativity-Stoking Sessions

Create vision boards–collages of words and images–related to business challenges or goals. Do mind-mapping or doodling exercises.

You will begin making remote associations. It can be hard and it’s a stretch, but it opens up new ways of thinking.

Change up routine regularly

When you’re facing down something unexpected, you’re taken out of your everyday experience and all of the preconceived notions that go with it.

Do something new every day to capture the same openness. Take a new route home and carefully observe what’s there. Look for beauty, interesting architecture, or exceptional gardens. Remember how it feels to be truly observant and unsure of what to expect.

Practical Ways to Find Creativity When You're Feeling Uncreative

The gist: Creative inspiration is all around us, but we don't see it because we've been conditioned to look for it in only a few places. When you reset your expectations about creativity, you'll become more creative. I once joined a business started by some friends.

Creativity expectations

Our expectations of how creativity should look like block us. Creative inspiration is all around us, but we don’t see it because we've grown up being taught to look for it in specific p...

How to feel more creative

Take a break. Give your brain some space to think of other things.
Expand your definition of creativity. You’re probably conditioned to look for it in specific places. Break that mold.
Limit yourself. Fewer tools and less time, counterintuitively, force you to be more creative.
