Ideas and practices for regularly gathering sources of inspiration, eliminating blocks to more easily access creative states, prolong them, and leverage their power to develop and execute great work.
6. What’s the point?
Concepts, ideas, tips to help you instill
practices that will encourage you to
become even more conversant and
better able to collaborate with your
creativity.
20. The evil voices in your head
FEAR (“false evidence appearing real”
or “f*ck everything and run”) causes
unnecessary inhibitions which obstruct
the generation of new ideas on a
biochemical and neurological level.
52. Your inner Genius
As opposed to “being” a genius, consider
that you have a genius – a mystical spirit
that accompanies you and inspires and
helps you to create fantastic work.
66. You’re Doin’ It Wrong
“My f*cking book won’t tell me its
name!”
“Well, if you’re going to talk to it like
that, it’s not going to tell you
anything.”
95. Doing you = Awesome
• Singing your song in your voice
• Creating what you want to see/use
• Getting your remix on: gather like an
aficionado; repurposing like an artist
99. The stage is set for Flow
• Cleared space – work area, time, head
• Concept in mind: know what you want
to achieve and what it looks like
• Necessary materials on hand
• Distractions eliminated
• Practice in place
• Willingness in place
101. Was ist das?
“…the confidence that, when given a
difficult problem, we have a
methodology that enables us to come
up with a solution that nobody has
before.”
