I'm going to share creativity-enhancing methods I've cultivated with you!
The following are straightforward and practical, and easily accomplished on a daily basis — which they should be. Good habits are a foundation of my forward momentum, and they certainly help my happiness. So you won't need any Nth-level übermonk training — what's important here is to regularly include these in your daily routine, and build on them as time goes on.
2. Have a mini-reservoir of notes to fill the gaps in your day. Ever had 5, 10, 15 min. — even 1/2 hr. where you didn't know what to do?
5. Don't waste time on meaningless social interactions.
6. Memorability matters: if you don't remember it, it didn't happen.
7. Go on a tools binge, then purge what you don't use.
12. Combine the best of what you love. The wheel doesn't need reinventing. But observe where you see wheels: they're hardly alone (save for broken ol' wagon wheels), and a part of something bigger.
