I’ve just picked up on this lovely infographic from Islam Abudaoud. Islam has done a great job of visualising 29 well known ways to spark your creativity. There’s lots of surprisingly simple tips here, although of course, there’ll always be new research to challenge the efficacy of each idea (such as coffee not being a creative springboard after all).

Whatever the ‘whys’ and ‘wherefores’, creativity is a skill like any other and it improves with effort and practise.

What works for you?

You can buy a poster version of the graphic from the Society6 website.
