Habits that block creativity
1) Habits and thought patterns developed over time can block creativity by making us rigid in our thinking and less open to new ideas. Our tendency is to rely on what is known and familiar rather than exploring unfamiliar or unknown options.
2) As we gain experience, we develop mental categories to organize information, but these categories can also prevent insight if we only try to fit new problems into existing frameworks rather than considering wholly new approaches.
3) Many common obstacles to creativity arise from social and psychological factors that discourage behaviors like asking questions, taking risks, being different from others, or maintaining an openness to uncertainty. Overcoming these blocks requires recognizing how our default ways of thinking can interfere with creativity.

- Common myths and negative beliefs about aging are challenged by research findings that show biological and cognitive changes are typically minor with age. Productivity and creativity can remain high into later years.
- Strategies for healthy aging include maintaining interests, avoiding stress, expressing emotions, staying active, and focusing on positivity. Regular exercise, nutrition, sleep, and medical care can help delay biological aging.
- Old age is what you make of it - your mindset is key. As long as people continue learning and growing mentally and socially, they will not feel old. Staying young involves an active lifestyle and positive outlook.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
