29 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE

Here is a cute little video entitled, "29 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE". One of my managers sent this to the marketing team a little while ago — and I really enjoyed it — so I share it with you.


29 WAYS TO STAY CREATIVE from TO-FU on Vimeo.

From this list I do the following the most:
1. Make lists (constantly)
2. Carry a notebook everywhere (I carry an agenda — not sure if that counts)
10. Be open (I am always up for new things and new ideas)
18. Count my blessings (The "Last Week's Likes" posts are good at pointing blessings out)
19. Get lots of rest
27. Clean your workspace (I am always sorting through something in my bedroom which is basically my workspace)

I do the following the least:
21. Break the rules
23. Read a page of the dictionary

I wish I did more of the following:
17. Go somewhere new (break the everyday routine a little more than usual - that would be nice)

Here is the full list for you to go through and see what you do the most/least.
