while browsing this here internet earlier today, i came across this list of ways to boost your creativity. just the thing for a person with a resolution to be more creative, wouldn't you say?

and the tips are...

1. make lists

2. carry a notebook everywhere

5. quit beating yourself up

6. take breaks

7. sing in the shower

8. drink coffee (maybe diet coke counts?)

9. listen to new music

10. be open

11. surround yourself with creative people

12. get feedback

13. collaborate

14. don't give up

15. practice, practice, practice

16. allow yourself to make mistakes

17. go somewhere new

18. count your blessings

19. get lots of rest

20. take risks

21. break the rules

22. don't force it

23. read a page of the dictionary
