7 Ways to Boost Creativity:

As a creator, you have to be creative — with your content and your marketing strategies.

But it can be hard to think of new ideas.

Here are 7 methods I use to increase my creativity.

1) Build a creativity habit

Start with a small habit and build up over time.

For example, create 2 new content ideas per day for a week and then increase it to 3.

Check out my past newsletter on building lasting habits for more tips.

2) Combine disciplines

Stacking skills is a great way to monetize.

Stacking disciplines is a great way to boost creativity.

Apply psychology to fitness or combine philosophy and science.

3) Document everything

Write about what you ate for lunch.

Take pictures while you're walking outside.

Creativity strikes when you're reflecting on something.

4) Meet new people

Everyone has a unique story.

Learn from the experiences of others.

5) Journal your thoughts

Writing forces you to think.

Put pen to paper to unlock creativity.

6) Read a ton

Engage with ideas from different genres.

It will supercharge your mind and your content ideas.

7) Find stillness

Creativity occurs when the mind is free.

Calm your mind by walking, meditating, or exercising.
