Seven Ways To Become More Creative

Artie Isaac (Twitter: @ArtieIsaac) offers seven ways to become more create.

"When you're an adult," he says, "you get to choose your own distractions."

1. Turn off the television. What do your heroes watch on TV? Did Mother Teresa get upset when she missed the last episode of 24?
2. Get Fit. It's hard to be creative when you're not fit.
3. Sleep.
4. Don't roll your eyes.
5. Taking times out. One hour a week have an artist date. Be yourself. Go somewhere unfamiliar to you. Experience something. How can you be creative if you don't experience something new? You have time. Are you going to the gym? Are you drinking beer and watching the Bengals? If so, then you have time.
6. Become more generous.
7. Write more.

Notes: Isaac's steps were given during his keynote presentation at the SummitUp Conference, Oct. 20 at Wright State University.
