10 Commandments of Creativity

David Goldwich has outlined the ten commandments of creativity on his web page. They are listed below.
  1. Thou art creative
  2. Thou shalt get out of thy comfort zone
  3. Thou shalt change thy environment
  4. Thou shalt try new things
  5. Thou shalt honor thy intuition
  6. Thou shalt seek several options
  7. Thou shalt justify thy efforts
  8. Thou shalt seek input from others
  9. Thou shalt believe thou will succeed
  10. Thou shalt take action
I have a reference to an excellent book on the subject titled: Making Ideas Happen  by Scott Belskey in my sustainable mycology blog

Edward DeBono also has several very good books on structural ways to produce creative thoughts.  There is a brief video clip below. 




John Cleese recommends that you sleep on an idea when you get stuck  He also has found that you need an oasis for creativity.  He notes that people who have no idea what they are doing do not know they have no idea what they are doing.  I refer to this as unconscious incompetence.
