7 Habits that

KILL CREATIVITY

@habitsguy
Have you ever thought about why
some people are more creative
than others?
People are lazy and likely to
spend minimum effort on
getting things done.
 Our brains like to follow known
patterns instead of reinventing a
process every single time.
This tendency makes us far
less creative and therefore
less efficient.
Here are seven common
habits that kill creativity.
1 Youre Too Logical

A creative idea cannot be born

in an environment limited by
logic and rationality.
Logic stifles
creativity and
blinds you to
essential insights
from different
kinds of analyses,
from consumer
groups to market.
2 You choose the
first solution

Finding one solution is only

the beginning of a long
process.
This habit never
motivates you to
play with
alternative ideas,
efficiently killing
any creative bone
in your body.
3 You believe that
theres only one
right answer

Many of us think that most

questions generate only one
correct answer.
There exist many
different
approaches to
tackling a
challenge and
thats what makes
a field interesting.
4 You lack expert
knowledge

Being a novice isnt a bad thing

in fact, it happens to everyone
starting a career in a new field.
If youre new to a
discipline, and you
never took the
time to study the
basics properly,
youll inevitably
put a strain on
your creativity.
5 Youve got too much
expert knowledge

A bloated ego will make you miss

out on fantastic opportunities for
growth and learning.
If youre convinced
that you know
everything, youre
limiting yourself to
experience only one
side of the industry.
6 Youre overwhelmed
by data

Stop mulling over LOTS of data.

STOP.
Ask or look for just enough
information and allow yourself
some space for creative thinking.
7 You just think youre
not creative

Everyone has a potential for

creativity, only most decide that
its not worth to use it in their
daily lives.
Ignorance of the
creative process is
not lack of creativity
its a choice.
