21 Quick Ways to Kick-Start Your Creativity and Come Up With Brilliant Ideas
Because you're not meant to do the same thing every single day.

If you’ve been sending the same type of emails, attending the same type of meetings, and inserting the same type of data in the same type of spreadsheets for as long as you can remember, you’re most likely in a creative rut.

And, while performing identical tasks day after day will make you an expert in certain areas, it can also hold you back from unleashing those innovative ideas hidden at the back of your mind—ideas that, although different, could make your work so much easier.

Thankfully, unlocking those thoughts isn’t all that difficult. Lemonly has put together a list of quick and easy ways to step away from your routine and get your creative juices flowing. These strategies will prove that you, too, are capable of designing new approaches and wowing everyone at work with your fresh ideas.

A board member of Columbia Organization of Rising Entrepreneurs, Kat is either hosting inspiring founders or trekking across cities (Silicon Valley and London, anyone?) to discover the hottest startups. And, when she’s not putting together large-group gatherings for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Kat is planning food excursions to discover the best Taiwanese beef noodle soup in NYC. The only thing she loves almost as much as crafting content as an Editorial Intern at The Muse is studying content as an English Major at Columbia University. Say hi on Twitter @katxmoon.
