Creativity

Before I proceed I will like to define the word creativity

What is creativity?

The creative process is the act of making new connections between old idea or recognizing relationship between concepts.

Creative thinking is not from a blank slate,but rather about taking what is already present and combining those bits and pieces in a way that has not been done previously.

While being creative isn't easy, nearly all great ideas follow a similar creative process in 1940 nearly all great ideas follow a similar creative process.In 1940,an advertising executive named James Webb Young published a short guide titted,A Technique producings ideas.

Young believed the process of creative connection always occurred in five steps

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

1.Gather new material:At first,you learn.During this stage you focus on 1) learning material directly related to your task and 2) learning general material by becoming fascinated with a wide range of concepts.

2.Step away from problem:Next,you put the problem completely out of your mind and go do something else that excites you and energizes you.

3.Let your idea return to you:At some point,but only after you have stopped thinking about it, your idea will come back to you with a flash of insight and renewed energy.

After following this steps you examine what you have learned by looking at the facts from different angles and experimenting with fitting various ideas together.

Lastly for any idea to succeed,you must release it out into the world, submit it to criticism,and adapt it as needed.
