Habits that KILL CREATIVITY @habitsguy
7

Have you ever thought about
why some people are more creative than others?

People are lazy and likely
to spend minimum effort on getting things done.

Our brains like to follow
known patterns instead of reinventing a process every single time.

This tendency makes us far
less creative and therefore – less efficient.

Here are seven common habits
that kill creativity.

1 A creative idea cannot
be born in an environment limited by logic and rationality. You’re Too Logical

Logic stifles creativity and blinds
you to essential insights from different kinds of analyses, from consumer groups to market.

2 Finding one solution is
only the beginning of a long process. You choose the first solution

This habit never motivates you
to play with alternative ideas, efficiently killing any creative bone in your body.

3 Many of us think
that most questions generate only one correct answer. You believe that there’s only one right answer

There exist many different approaches
to tackling a challenge and that’s what makes a field interesting.

4 Being a novice isn’t
a bad thing – in fact, it happens to everyone starting a career in a new field. You lack expert knowledge

If you’re new to a
discipline, and you never took the time to study the basics properly, you’ll inevitably put a strain on your creativity.

5 A bloated ego will
make you miss out on fantastic opportunities for growth and learning. You’ve got too much expert knowledge

If you’re convinced that you
know everything, you’re limiting yourself to experience only one side of the industry.

6 Stop mulling over LOTS
of data. STOP. You’re overwhelmed by data

Ask or look for just
enough information and allow yourself some space for creative thinking.

7 Everyone has a potential
for creativity, only most decide that it’s not worth to use it in their daily lives. You just think you’re not creative

Ignorance of the creative process
is not lack of creativity – it’s a choice.
