It can be easy to misplace your priorities and forget why we're even putting the time and energy into this whole creativity thing at all.
This week on Keep the Flow, I get into the big WHY behind all of our efforts and struggles. Do we need to create? Is necessity really the mother of invention and if so, should we not be asking invention - who's your daddy?
Examples from Charles and Ray Eames as well as my own work show us what some of the motivations are for all our efforts.

This week on Keep the Flow, we get into the idea of being able to choose our thoughts as creative people.
Ideas are a kind of thought, so to get good at dealing with our ideas we have to get good at dealing with our thoughts. We look at the relationship between cognitive flexibility and brain plasticity and what impact our environment has on our mental bandwidth.
Put your thinking caps on.

This week on Keep the Flow we get into the balancing act of hard skills vs. soft skills: knowing how to do a thing vs. knowing why we do the thing.
There are many ways to look at this equation as applied to creativity. Let's traverse the rabbit-hole together, shall we?

So boring! But is repetition useful to creatives?
This week we get into how we can harness the power of repetition to make our ideas more impactful, digestible and manufacture expectations... which we can then defy.
