| New Ideas = Priceless |
I believe any organization needs creativity.
What can you do to inspire creativity in yourself?
Here are some things I do...
1. Surf the Web!
Given that I have a limited supply of time and that the WWW is accessible 24/7 from home, office, or standing in line in the grocery store... I do this one the most! Here are some I frequent...
http://www.instructables.com/ A great DIY network.
http://www.ted.com/ You can watch someone talk about almost any subject.

| I heart Stumble Upon! |
Pandora.com or http://www.last.fm/ Listen to new music
Also! Try StumbleUpon!!! There is no telling what you will find!
2. Let my eyes see something new!
Go to a museum, or take in a concert.
Watch a movie, or read a book.
You can get plenty of free concerts at the nearby college. It might open up some new music contacts as well.3. Put myself in new surroundings!
Go for a walk! Go to a different mall or store. Go to the park and just walk around.
It's exercise that will inspire creativity!
4. Find a quiet place.
Allows us to decompress and allows room for God to talk to us.
5. Talk to people. Different people!
I have one friend named Daniel who isn't a Christian, works on computers, has opposite political and social views than I have... He is good for me to be around. I can't talk to this guy without sparking some creativity. He has different language than what I hear sitting around our staff meeting table.
All these things have something in common for me. They all expose me to something different. I think DIFFERENCE is key when trying to spark creativity.
