Creativity Starts With a Habit | BlogSDN Articles.
The linked article talks about creativity coming more from habit and ritual than spontaneous moments of brilliance. And looking at the number of people who make their livings being creative, it is obvious that while there may be sparks of creativity once in awhile, they wouldn’t be able to make a living off just those sparks. Creativity is like any skill and needs to be honed.
Habit #3: Practice, practice, practice what you want to get better at.
Ritual: Set a specific time to practice each day or on certain days. If you begin with a specific activity such as sitting in a certain place or turning on a certain light, you set up the habit to take on a life of its own.
Do you have any rituals or habits that enable and inspire your creativity?
