Common traits of creative people:“Everybody can see what is in the light, But the real heroes delve n darkness of the unknown. It is where you discover other things.”What makes a creative person? -> Creative people find it more difficult to know themselves. “Imaginative people have messier minds”There is NO typical creative type but:1. They daydream: letting their mind drift2. They observe everything: They let everything get in. And they do not live in their own little world, they try to get themselves in external position.3. They work the hours that work for them: Everyone’s process would take a while to find out. And we all have creative peaks.4. They take time for solitude: They need a moment to process things by themselves. It hard to no have the creative touch if you are not alone reflecting5. They turn life’s obstacles around: Heartbreaks turned in something beautiful.6. They seek out new experiences: Because point of view matters-> never want to go to the same new country twice, they are trying to process that new experiences and find something new. One of the biggest predictor of creativity is : to get out and do something new7. They fail up: they have to be okay with failure. It is the only way to advance. “Fail fast and often” to start over with a new idea fast!8. Insistently curious: They ask big questions-> WHY? HOW?9. They people watch: Curious about the life of others. They LOVE to watch people (Marcel Proust, made up his characters by doing this/ finding their ticks and making them characters on books)10. They take risk: Just jump already -> to lose money, to rejection and disapproval. If clients are uncomfortable with an idea THEN it is a good one.11. They view all of life as an opportunity for self-expression: Every choice you make is an art of heart.12. They follow their true passions: artist art because they need to… intrinsic motivated13. They get out of their own head: Put themselves in somebody else head.How complicated it can be?There is a paradox because creative minds are living contradictions. Their minds are messy14. They lose track of time: Stop looking at the clock!!! Finding the flow.14. They surround themselves with beauty.Ira Glass: “All creative have taste, even if the things you are doing right now and for the first couple of years ITS is not that great. Your taste is good enough to tell you that you are not that good-> in this face people quit-> ALL OF US go through that. BUT the cure for that is to do high volumes of work!!! So that every week or month you have to finish something creative and you would be closing that gap.”15. They connect the dots: highly creative people can do this above all. Build new things on others things.16. They constantly shake things up: change your routines17. They make time for mindfulness. Meditation can be good for it. No idea is too strange. It is about letting ourselves go!ADV 325 1st Edition Lecture 2 Outline of Last Lecture I. Class introduction Outline of Current Lecture II. Common traits of creative peopleA.
