When I go out, I always follow a different route to wherever I’m going. Over time, I have found this drive time to be one of my best times for brainstorming ideas. I carry a small digital recorder to capture any brainstorms I have in the car.
The more you can “shakeup” your routines, the more you will stimulate your creative mind. If you want to try an interesting experiment, when you’re getting dressed in the morning, put your pants on the opposite way from how you usually do it. If you usually place your right leg in first, this time put your left leg in first. Be sure to stand where you can sit quickly since this may well cause you to lose your balance. That is how strongly we are conditioned to our daily routines. When you take a shower, wash yourself in a different way than you usually do and notice how strange it feels. Take a new route to work tomorrow and see how that feels.
The more you take advantage of opportunities to stimulate your mind, the more you will find new, creative ideas popping into your head and the more likely you will produce significant results.
