According to James Ogilvy:
“Too much of our work amounts to the drudgery of arranging means toward ends, mechanically placing the right foot in front of the left and the left in front of the right, moving down narrow corridors toward narrow goals.
Play widens the halls. Work will always be with us, and many works are worthy. But the worthiest works of all often reflect an artful creativity that looks more like play than work.”
Sharpening your innovative skills means inviting some playful work. Make no mistake, cultivating creativity takes hard work, but it can be incredibly fun and rewarding.
These playful yet practical creativity-boosting exercises can help! These tips come courtesy of various sources: some from renowned writers and others culled from interesting psychology experiments.
Without further ado, here are over 40 ways to help your creativity bloom.

Age is irrelevant. I am 64, born creative….dancer, singer, author and poetess….so i don’t have to find ways to be creative, fortunately
Great research on the topic of creativity. It would be interesting to hear stories of journeys of people who did not believe that they had any creative skills and went out of their comfort zone to cultivate their creativity.
