When our daily routines are geared toward barreling through a to-do list, it can be hard to set the right conditions for creativity. Fortunately, there is a time-tested approach — that’s also quite simple — for generating creative ideas. First, gather raw materials in your area of interest. This could mean anything from articles you’ve been meaning to read to the browser tabs you’ve left open on your computer. Then, spend time digesting the material — and looking for connections. Fill in small index card with notes, as if you’re trying to solve a puzzle. Shuffle between the physical cards looking for patterns and themes. Then — and this is the most important part — do nothing. Find a way to disengage your mind to allow unconscious processing, whether that’s by taking a walk, listening to music, watching a movie, or even taking a shower. This may not feel like tangible work, but clearing some headspace will make room for the ideas to come.

  1. Fatah Panji Firmansyah (2001579780) this article can help to reference how to trigger creativity with things that are around us. Do nothing can even be a way to find creativity because some headspace will make room for ideas to come.

  2. Monica Vania Stephanie (2001590796). When we need some creativity, we have to clear some head space, so it will make room for the ideas to come. The ideas will come without you know it.

  3. Afra Soraya (2001600393) We need to take the time to be silent, this can help to get creative ideas and clearing some headspace will make room for ideas to come or with unconscious activities like listening to music, watching movies, or even bath.

  4. on this article, i learned that obssesion with productivity can kill creativity. that is why it's important to somehow taking a break for daily routines by allow unconscious processing, the result is for clearing some headspace to make room of ideas to come Thank you for the article, Sir. — Agustin Savira 2001604246

  5. To come up with ideas of creativity, we need to look for references and we can write them down on small pieces of paper. After that sometimes we need to empty our minds and try to relax by doing activities that make our minds calm like walking in the park, listening to music, or just sitting looking at the view.

  6. Mohammad Rakhel Rahadian/2001577226 to get a creative idea, we need to make room for the idea and we can do nothing and you will get creative idea unconsciously

  7. Name: Jemmy Young || NIM: 2001624651 I agree with this article which in my experience if we always carry out regular and repetitive routines it will limit our creativity. for that I myself prefer to do everything intuitively.

  8. Creativity can come from anywhere, like in this article tells us that we need to clear our headspace to trigger new ideas. The important thing in creativity is do what you like, don't be stress and enjoy what you are doing.

  9. This ability that is also needed is creativity. We need a simple approach to generating creative ideas such as clearing some head spaces that will make room for future ideas and find ways to release the mind

  10. Ideas can come from anywhere, from the big things like a plane or even the small things like a nail. for me ideas usually come when i took a shower

  11. Creativity always come to us by its own, we just need to make sure we pay attention to our environment and have a relaxed brain.

  12. I kinda disagree with this article because a creative personis not dependent on their environment for creativity. They might be prevented from applying their creative ideas because they do not have the money, the time, space, and the support to do so. But applies to anyone, whether or not they are creative

  13. butterfly effect means small things can trigger the big things. same like creativity, the small idea will lead us to the bigger one, creativity is unlimited and can come wherever and whenever it wants

  14. Melyana Pangestu / 2001553112 Creativity comes from any source through the activities we do and everything we see in our environment. If we have creative ideas, we can try to realize those ideas.

  15. Bayu Pratama - 2001624336. Menemukan sebuah ide kreatif tidaklah mudah, terkadang bisa mendapatkan ide yang bagus, tidak jarang juga mendapatkan ide yang klise. Artikel ini memberikan beberapa cara untuk menemukan ide yang kreatif. Mungkin diantara beberapa cara tersebut tidak dapat bekerja sepenuhnya untuk setiap orang.

  16. Maximilian Fajar Linus - 2001574874 - LA26. Kreativitas merupakan hal yang ada didalam diri setiap orang. Mengasah kreativitas merupakan hal yang sangat penting untuk melatih keterampilan seseorang, hal tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan melakukan hal-hal baru yang mungkin saja dapat memberikan ide-ide baru.

  17. Ferrel Enoch Ibrahim - 2001547671. Creativity is not easy, but sometimes it can be from everything that comes up to mind.

  18. Kevin Bangun Renaldy - 2001536453 Saya setuju dengan artikel ini, tetapi ini hanyalah salah satu cara yang bisa dilakukan seseorang untuk membuat percikan kreativitas itu sendiri, beberapa orang melakukan dengan cara yang berbeda, bahkan aneh untuk mendapatkan ide-ide brilian, tetapi melepaskan pikiran adalah salah satu cara yang banyak dipakai orang, dengan mengosongkan pikiran, ide-ide bisa masuk lebih cepat.

  19. Edo Roy - 2001547665 Dari kegiatan yang begitu" saja tentu sangat sulit untuk mendapatkan kreativitas. oleh karena itu sangat di sarankan untuk melakukan sesuatu yang berbeda untuk mendapat inspirasi kreativitas

  20. Creative ideas can emerge from anywhere, and when we are doing anything. Get to know ourselves and how we can come up with creative ideas (there are people who can come up with creative ideas in a crowd, some are like quiet places)
