Know the Rules to Break Them

Cre8ng™ Challenge 2000 - 12

Welcome to Sprio in Athens, Greece, Joe in Buford, GA, April and Rene in Atlanta, GA to the growing family of Creativity Challengers.

Get "out-of-the-box", break the rules. These are phrases connected to "off-the-wall" thinking and thinkers.

Joel Arthur Barker in his books and tapes has told us for nearly 20 years that much to most creativity comes from breaking the rules (paradigms...his term...breaking crayons my term). So let's practice "breaking rules" this week. I suggest while you are practicing that you break them virtually and figuratively, not necessarily literally or truly. Unless you really need to.

Each day this week take 15 to 20 minutes to list 12 rules that you follow knowingly or subconsciously. Then generate lists of 6 benefits and 6 detriments for each of your broken rules. Then generate a list of benefits that the detriments might produce.

Breaking, going around, avoiding, not noticing, being blind to, challenging rules has been a way of life for me most of my life. It has saved my life a few times on the road and also has cost me jobs, projects and probably a few beginning friendships. As an older fart these days I try to take a moment or two to do what I am challenging you to do this week, I think about the benefits and detriments before I consciously or deliberately break legal, social, implied or actual rules.

Have a creatively great week.

Alan in Athens (Georgia...soon to be Greece for a few days)
