Come Out and Play
We often get so stuck in our routines and doing "serious" work that we forget how important having fun is in our lives.
When we have to solve a problem we work endless hours to try and find a solution. Even if it's not the best solution, we are just looking for A solution. Being creative on demand is a difficult job and we are always looking for ways to create a spark that will help us create that amazing solution.
What I've found and seen work is introducing play in your work schedules. When you are with your team or alone and you are stuck trying to come up with an idea or solution, why not take a break. If you are stuck, it will take hours to come up with a mediocre solution. If you take a break, play a game or exercise you will feel refreshed and you might come up with the solution while playing.
Give it a shot this week, not only will it help you creatively, it will also bring you closer to people you play with.
