CREATIVITY
Creativity as a Process...
Lateral Thinking is solving
problems through an indirect
and creative approach, using
reasoning that is not
immediately obvious and
involving ideas that may not be
obtainable by using only
traditional step-by-step logic.
The term was coined in 1967 by
Edward de Bono. https://www.debono.com/

CREATIVITY
OPEN VS CLOSE Mode
According to Cleese, we need to be in the
open mode when pondering a problem
— but! —
once we come up with a solution, we must then
switch to the closed mode to implement it.
Once we’ve made a decision, we are only efficient if we go
through with it decisively, undistracted by doubts about its
correctness.

“5 Factors to Make Your Life More Creative”
1. Space
“You can’t become playful, and therefore creative, if you’re under
your usual pressures”.
This is why Rehearsal Rooms became a profitable business

2. Time
“It’s not enough to create space; you have to create your space for a
specific period of time”.
Only then you can get to the Open Mode.
Its easier to do trivial things that are urgent than important things
that are not urgent (like thinking)
Its also easier to do little things we know we can do than to start big
things we are not so sure about (like sorting out your paper clips)

3. Time
“Giving your mind as long as possible to come up with something
original”.
Learn to be patient and tolerate the
discomfort, uncertainty, indecision and
agitation that we feel while we haven't
solved a problem.
Only take a decision when you
absolutely have to !!!!

“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of
making a mistake.”

tools to build a parachute along the way”

5. Humor
“The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from
the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else”.
