We Need to “Get Creative” About Being Creative Again
3 strategies & real-world examples to inspire you
Why is it that some people are thriving creatively in these “unprecedented times,” while others feel they may never be creative again?
Karen finished the first draft of her novel and started a podcast, only three weeks into quarantine. Taylor Swift dropped a surprise album.
Do they know something you don’t?
Yes and no.
These people — and I promise it’s not only the Taylor Swifts of the world — understand that the very nature of “creativity” is adaptation.
When someone says, “It can’t be done,” the creatives respond, “Watch me.”
Our problem is that we get too comfortable doing things the same way. We’re thrown off-kilter when something like a global pandemic prevents us from frequenting our favorite coffee shop, or attending a conference with like-minded entrepreneurs, or performing onstage.
And when the things we were doing before no longer work for us, it’s time to try something new. Take a different approach.
In other words, we need to “get creative” about being creative again.
