Alan's Creativity Challenges 2003-31
Simply Wander Each DayOver my 59 years one technique that has helped me
recharge or spark my creativity and/or creative
thinking has been to simply wander for a short while
on the days I feel stuck or want to raise the level of
my creativity. This week I did this in New Orleans
and I am recommending that you try it this week or any
week you choose in the future.
MONDAY
Take a wandering walk during lunch time outside if
possible. Experience things as if you had never
experience them before using each and all of your
senses.
TUESDAY
Take a virtual wander through a magazine or two that
you normally do not read.
WEDNESDAY
Take an audible wander. Listen to a new radio
station.
THURSDAY
Take a gustatorial wander. Go eat in a new restaurant
and experiment with new foods or dishes.
FRIDAY
Go for a wander in a store or mall and touch as many
different textures and surfaces that you can from soft
to hard, from dry to moist or wet, from warm to cold,
etc.
Add some wandering to each day of your life and keep
your creativity fresher and at the same time often you
will increase it at the same time.
