Find Out How to Be Innovative and Develop Great Ideas
You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or never make the same mistake again? It's the same thing for innovation. It takes a little practice, and a lot of time before this mind function comes up easily when it's called. This article will teach you a few tips on how innovation can be brought into your life.
- Believe in yourself.
- Manage your time.
- Do exercises.
- Jot down notes.
- Have your own style.
- Use what's necessary.
- Follow your passion.
- Be prepared.
- Believe in Yourself Don't listen to what other people are saying. Follow your own drum beat. Allowing the input of others will only bring cacophony to the music you 're trying to make. Don't waste your time and effort to get people to understand if you have an original idea. Because they will not. And the help you 're likely to get might come in a form of a negative feedback. If all these geniuses listened to their peers, we probably would still live in the middle ages.
- Manage Your Time Spend some time on it. It can't stress that enough, though, please don't mistake this tip to tell you to completely quit your day 's work. Don't do that. This involves some tricky time management, but with a little discipline, you 're going to be able to squeeze both in.
- Do Exercises Do some exercise. Gor for a walk. Run for a mile or two. Send all of those endorphins through your veins. Exercise certainly makes your mind clear and relax, allowing anything to pop up.
- Jot Down Notes Keep a track of your dreams. Aren't some of them just the craziest things that your conscious mind would never think of? If you've had those dreams before, and I'm sure you have, it's just showing you the untapped innovative power that lies within you. So take those notes jot downed because those dreams might create an innovative spark for you.
- Have Your Wwn Style Find a style of your own. You 're going to know that Hemingway wrote something by choosing the words on the paper. So it's the same thing with you. People will appreciate your innovation more, because it is uniquely yours, and nobody else would have thought about what you were thinking. That's going to let people see how valuable an asset you are.
- Use What's Necessary Don't hide yourselves behind nifty tools or gadgets. You don't need the most expensive set of paintings to make a masterpiece. Just the same way with writing. You don't need an expensive fountain pen and a really smooth piece of paper for the bestseller. Actually, J.K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter series on tissue bits. So what if you have an expensive DSLR camera if you're a crappy photographer? Who cares if you have a fancy laptop if you can't write at all? In fact, the artist reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft: he knows what works and what doesn't.
- Follow Your Passion Nothing is going to work without passion. In the morning, what do you wake up? What makes you fired up? What's the one thing you're going to die if you don't? Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by people who want more. Think of the hare and the tortoise. Ellen Degeneres once said that if you don't do something you want to do, you don't really want to do it. And that's the truth. Sometimes you just want something so bad you 're going to be a virtual unstoppable. And that's the passion. Do what you love, love what you do. Passion will keep you going.
- Be Prepared Don't worry about inspiration, it can't be forced. Inspiration hits when you least expect it, and you should prepare for those unpredictable but unavoidable times. An idea might strike you on the subway, but, you poor unhappy soul; you don't have a sheet of paper to scribble down a thought that could change the world. Avoid such catastrophes. Always have a pen and a paper in your hands or you could keep that note in your smart phone!
I hope this article will help you bring more innovation to your life. Keep in mind that you do these things to your own satisfaction and not to anyone else's satisfaction. But soon enough, they'll notice, and it's all supposed to snowball from there.
