Get your creativity flowing

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

One tool for boosting creativity is “storywording.” Originating from improv, storywording involves co-creating a story: One person starts the narrative, the next person adds a word, and so forth.

Another tool is the “diverge-converge” method. Your goal is quantity over quality of ideas. Begin writing down every possible idea in response to a challenge. Once at 50 ideas, take same time to narrow them down until you have one to pursue.

If you still feel stuck, try using analogies to think about your challenge in a different light.
