Ideas Surround Us

Creativity Challenge 2002 #38

Have you every heard an idea from a conversation at a party, a baseball stadium, on a bus, in a restaurant?

Ideas surround us everywhere we are. There are probably thousands of ideas surrounding each of us no matter where we are at this time. They may be old ideas, tried and true ideas, unsuccessful (previously) ideas, they may be ideas that have produced billions of dollars in profit or simply ideas that have helped other forms of life to continue living.

Your challenge this week is to open yourself to hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling, touching, sensing ideas that surround you.

Each day carry a pad, lap top or any other means of recording ideas you choose. Periodically check in for ideas that are surrounding you.

MONDAY
focus on ideas that people are sharing around you and ideas that pop into your mind because of things you hear, see or sense others doing during the day.

TUESDAY
focus on ideas that are in print wherever you are

WEDNESDAY
focus on ideas that are available via the radio, television

THURSDAY
focus on ideas that are available through music

FRIDAY
focus on ideas that are available from nature: macro and micro scale

Share groups of ideas you collect to help spark the rest of us.

Choose to be more creative this week. It is always your choice.

Alan
