In college I do ameteur directing and filmmaking, so it’s nice to see an article that slots into today’s day and age. These are creative times, and there’s nothing better than daydreaming.

However, I find creativity comes to me if I constantly reject my first ideas, it challenges me. I also find myself combining the two, creating a perspective I never thought possible.

Well done, great read.

I would never ever of agreed to the whole chores thing if I hadn’t of tried it out myself, and boy does it work, okay I ended up with more water on the floor than in the bowl because of my wondering mind but it helped so much to fabricate ideas out of nothing. Thanks for the help, I hope you win, you deserve it

I find when I come up with an idea I also enjoy to discuss with others, with their thoughts and opinions I can elaborate upon my idea and make it much more of what it was originally.

Keep up the good work, your ideas are inspiring and very very helpful

Wow, I’m definitely hitting the canvas this time. I’ve been trying to paint something for ages but I’ve been hit by a big ol’ mental wall. Hopefully I get something done, this guide was something I really needed, thanks Mark.

I dont often keep a pad closeby to write things down but when i have a really sweet dream i usually type it up on my computer just because. Recently ive been having a drawing block so i’ll be sure to keep in mind about the notepad. Helpful article, thanks.

A very interesting article and really well written! I found it gave me some good tips as on the rare occasions I do have some inspiration, I could do with that notebook! I also have plenty of mundane tasks to do, so thanks for the ideas with how to use that time more fruitfully as well!

Well done you :-)

Good work, Mark I particularly liked the notebook idea, as I carry my diary with me at all times, I’ll begin using it as my ‘jotter’. You also made me realise how many pieces of reciepts I have in my draw where I have written random lyrics or general ramblings in work, my diary may save space :)
Good luck guys

When I set myself deadlines I can never stick to them religiously, but these tips might help me break things down a bit.

Thankyou!

Great article, i think doing chores really does allow your mind to wander and is a great way to work around a block. Also discussion is a great way to work out exactly what your thinking, I often find I have an inclination but don’t fully comprehend it until I have fleshed it out with someone else. Very helpful!

I’d recently been at a loss creative-wise, and this article has been really helpful.

I had previously tried the post-it notes/notepad ideas but never the chore idea. It really worked, I’d definitely recommend the washing up to get the creative juices flowing.

Great article- Thanks

An interesting read for sure. And written like a pro i must add.

For me, well my mind is just a messy bundle of ideas most of the time so i can definitely identify with the need for some sort of planning otherwise i end up going nowhere.

Nice one
