Alan's Creativity Challenges 2003-08
It Will Work if You Work It!!!This week let's practice generating those wonderfully great responses we can use
to ward off or respond to painful phrases that people love to throw at creative
people.
Spend 10 to 15 minutes each day generating those "Trophies", "Angel Advocate
Sayings" (thank you Sid Shore for your inspiration), "Supportive Phrases" or
whatever else you want to call them.
MONDAY
Pick an idea out of a newspaper and generate "supporting ideas". Strive for the
most you can produce. Try to keep in a fun mood about this.
TUESDAY
Pick an idea you see out an about today on a billboard, a sign, a street
advertisement.
WEDNESDAY
Pick an idea from something you heard today. Please share these with the person
you heard the idea from. Remember this is meant as a fun exercise to support
ideas.
THURSDAY
Pick an idea from a television show you watch or a movie you have seen.
FRIDAY
Pick an idea from a book or simply a book and generate supportive phrases for it.
The goal is to practice generating supportive phrases and to see who can end up
with the absolute longest list of them.
Please send them in. I'll collect them and share them all later.
Have a fun week by tremendously support of the creativity that surrounds you.
