How to Overcome a Creative Block in 5 Simple Steps

HOW TO OVERCOME A CREATIVE BLOCK IN 5 SIMPLE STEPS

These 5 tips will help you get that creative brain on track.

Being creative is not always fun and games.

There’re those moments when our mind is just not there yet, and you feel you’ve hit a wall.

1. BRAIN DUMP YOUR IDEAS

Pick up a good old notebook and pour down all the ideas that have been sparking into your mind.

Never mind if they feel disconnected. You can come back to them later when you feel more

focused, and sort out the best to create your masterpiece.

2. SHIFT PROJECTS

For those moments of brain-freeze, picking up another project might actually be the best remedy.

Or just check-off those routine tasks that you have been postponing because they’re, well…boring.

The sense of accomplishment will give you a creative boost.

3. USE GREAT CREATIVE TOOLS

There’s nothing more frustrating than having to fight whatever-tool you have to use daily to have your work done.

Take a little time to research online for an alternative tool to the mainstream apps you got used to. Not only it will increase your productivity as it will lower those frustrating moments.

PICK YOUR BEST TIME TO CREATE

Everyone has that time of the day when they feel more inspired. Find out what yours is

and focus on the most difficult tasks. Leave those necessary but less challenging ones for the rest of your day.

CREATE YOUR COMFY CORNER AT WORK

When you feel less productive, all you need is a time out in a comfy corner in the office, with a

nice sofa and a cup of tea or coffee. It’s easy to assemble and a great mood-booster.
