The Accidental Creative

Today, creativity is used in many different areas of work, such as when someone uses their ideas or actions to change the way something is done, or when they produce something that did not exist before. So, aside from artists, musicians, and writers, there are also many other people, who do various kinds of jobs, which require at least a certain amount of creativity. This does not mean, however, that they simply know what they are doing from the outset, as many of them did not study for a creative career.

The advantages and rewards of creative work also come with significant drawbacks, such as the demand for constant commitment and production. What’s more, we do not always manage to come up with the right idea at the right time. In order to maintain the quality of our work, and meet the expectations of our colleagues, clients, and employers, we must learn to focus our creative energy, and we can do this through a very precise process, which begins long before our idea even comes to us. We have to train our concentration every day, by performing exercises that help ensure a certain level of productivity, and that also allow us to avoid a common issue: burnout.
