Personally, I’ve tried waking up earlier, listening to the creative boost playlist on Spotify and other things as well, but at the end of the day I still have an empty page to put words on.</p><p>What I was missing was the constant stimulus of inspiration, and I definitely was not going to get that from my corporate job. I had to find alternative ways to stay inspired and generate content from my surroundings.</p><p>So I started a routine, and not just a normal routine but a routine that sustains creativity rather than trying to set up the perfect creative setting.</p><p>Here are some ways I stay in the creativity zone both at work and at home:</p><p>At Work</p><p>There are many days I feel I have to be in the right environment in order to create. Being in the design field can easily lead to countless hours of the creator’s block, resulting in what seems like zero progress. To get out of this mindset, here are a few things I started doing:</p><p>1. Do something different everyday.</p><p>Typically I already know what tasks I have to complete before I start them. This gives me ample time to plan out my days, making sure I switch it up so I don’t bore myself. I complete mini-sprints with each of my tasks, maybe spending one day conducting user research and the next day focusing on another project. I normally have multiple projects under my belt, so I alternate in order to get a fresh glance every time I iterate.</p><p>Having this constant change in my routine allows me to be much more creative and open when I design. It also gives me time to reflect on my work when I’m switching up my day to day routine.</p><p>2. Find an outlet to explore news and trends.</p><p>I find it really hard to design and iterate on something without any external inspiration. When I feel stuck, I usually explore on Dribbble, Behance, or Pinterest to see how others are designing for a similar problem.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3naj6xxf","appParentAuthor":"littymumma","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
