Balance structured work with freeflowing creativity from "summary" of The Creative Nudge by Mick Mahoney,Kevin Chesters
When it comes to creativity, finding the perfect balance between structure and freedom is crucial. Structured work provides a solid foundation for your ideas, giving you a clear path to follow and ensuring that your creativity is focused and purposeful. Without structure, your ideas may be scattered and unfocused, making it difficult to turn them into something tangible. On the other hand, freeflowing creativity allows you to explore new ideas and think outside the box. It gives you the freedom to experiment and take risks, pushing the boundaries of what you thought was possible. Without this sense of freedom, your creativity may become stifled and stagnant, limiting your potential for innovation and originality. By combining structured work with freeflowing creativity, you can harness the benefits of both approaches. Structured work provides you with a framework to organize your thoughts and ideas, while freeflowing creativity allows you to inject energy and spontaneity into your work. This combination ensures that your creativity is both focused and dynamic, giving you the best of both worlds. When you strike the right balance between structure and freedom, you can unlock your full creative potential. You'll have the clarity and direction to bring your ideas to life, while also having the flexibility and spontaneity to take them in unexpected and exciting directions. This balance is the key to unleashing your creativity and producing truly innovative work.
