Creativity | Creative Solutions & Creative Problem Solving
I know we spend a lot of time in our offices that we forget to pay attention to the details. I’m not talking about a clean desk; I’m talking about the finer details that make our workplace fun. We’re more productive when our environment isn’t bland and tiresome. Entrepreneurs are inspirational and creative beings, so our offices should reflect that energy, too. Here are some simple ways to push this type of work.
Stay connected
If you have a window in your office, make sure you face it from your desk. Taking a gander out the window is not only a mental booster, but it keeps your mind out of that boxed in feeling. If you don’t have a window, add a couple of plants, pictures, pets, or some grass…
Keep it arty
Paintings, posters, pictures, or statues you like will pump up your creative instincts. You should surround yourself with creative things in your office, even if it’s just an object on the wall.
Keep it playful
I love gadgets. Just looking at them makes me all tingly, so I keep them near me 24/7. For you, it might be cars or bikes. The point is that it doesn’t matter, if it makes you truly happy, it will heighten your spirits at work.
Use fun office supplies
The usual items don’t have to be so bland. Your goal is to make meetings and note-taking something you want to do. Use office supplies that are techy and FUN to use while you are hard at work.
The world is your idea
It doesn’t matter what you specialize in, sometimes you’ll have to write down that one in a billion idea – even if its scribbles, thought directories, abstract concepts or simple notes. So devote a special place for this. It could be a plain whiteboard, sticky note, journal or your wall. Having a place devoted to your ideas creates a logic loop of even better ideas and even solves your problems much faster!
Chaos and order
Your best ideas can spring from total silence, other times they manifest from a chaotic environment. It’s not the same path, but know thyself to get a better understanding of the things that are unseen.
