1. Continuous practice: try to challenge yourself and come up with completely random words/ideas. 2. Prime your sleep: use your sleep to try to be more creative. In dreams you don't have any rules so before sleeping, think about the idea you want new thoughts about in your dream and when you wake up, take notes. 3. Randomeness: make any random piece of informations you get, useful for creative ideas. How can you use that information.

Best tips ever

Never a truer word said! Especially there are no rules.

I use Wikipedia to compile a list of words/phrases that are relevant to whatever I'm working on, then I put them into an online cut-up machine similar to William Burroughs' technique. It spits back a paragraph of mixed up words, mostly all jargon, but a lot of the time they inspire new connections I hadn't thought of before, which I can then run with however I wish. It becomes quite addictive to experiment with disparate source topics.

Watching this video made me more creative for sure, thank you for sharing! Can't believe I could enjoy watching TED talks this much - so many great life tips are here.

Nice talk! I like that the 3 tools are so simple that anyone could use them :) He is a good teacher

I’ve noticed that even artists, after a while their creativity becomes somewhat stagnant. Yet, we just refer to their music, movies or painting as their “style”. As a digital artist myself, I have to make a conscious effort not to become too lazy and predictable in my work, but constantly push my comfort-zone by thinking outside of the box.

Great talk. I've used the sleep one for years with good results, not all the time but often. Glad to see recognition that creativity is SO important and essential in all aspects of life/work. I was ridiculed as a child and it wasn't till I was around 40 yrs I realised I was very creative ... just not in the type of art my teacher had laughed at.

Awesome talk Dr. Onarheim Hope this helps me to open up my creativity which is hidden deep inside the knowledge and lot of noisy data with too many communication channels.

The first word i think of when I'm standing there with my toothbrush trying to come up with 3 random words seems to always be "potato".. so I decided to make it 4 and simply ignore the first one.

this video was so helpful and it made me open minded and i learned that creativity doesn’t have any limits go as far and push yourself so don’t try to limit what you can do or think you cannot do it because you can !

it was extremely helpful,seriously you are the first one that really brings out great new tips on that topic!! Respect bro ,

Great talk. Really great takeaways. I liked the whole thing. Don’t think a summary would have as much impact.

Interesting! The first book to take readers inside the experience of creative inspiration hits bookstores tomorrow (3/6/2018). It's called, "Deep Creativity: Inside the Creative Mystery," and is the culmination of a 30-year exploration into the heart of creative inspiration. It stresses the idea that creativity is not just thinking outside the box but living outside it.

Brilliant. Can't wait to see more of your research! If I was to make a single observation, I would offer that this is vital research to the solution of some very protracted problems we are having as a species. If I was to make a second one, I'd say be careful using the word "destroy" (14:25-ish). Perhaps a better word is "inhibit"? It seems trivial but the defeating influential potency of the word "destroy" may not be (it would seem) what you want to affirm in someone. Such an exciting talk. Sorry this got by me for 6 years!

Thank you for sharing these valuable tips💡

Left and right Brain activities helps a great deal to help in enhancing both sides of brain. For eg: Using left hand which is less dominant to do some work enhances the right brain which increases the person’s creativity and motor skill. Left and Right brain activities are a powerful tool to practice. Thanks for a such great talk! TedX

Thanks so much, I also use my surbodinates to do the thinking.

Balder Oneheim, insight detail instructions for the mind not to be lazy.

omng! I loved the nine dot solutions by kids! I would never never never have thought of them! It reminds me of the physics teacher that put this question on a test: given a barometer, find the height of the school building. Of course, the students knew that air pressure (measured by the barometer) gets lower as you go higher. They said to measure the pressure at ground level and then on the roof. Find the difference and use a math equation (given in books) to get the height. But here are CREATIVE- and funny - answers: 1. Find the school maintenance guy and offer to trade him the barometer if he tells you the height of the building. 2. Tie a string to the barometer, stand on the roof, lower the barometer to the ground. Then measure the string. 3. Drop the barometer from the roof and time its fall till it smashes to the ground. An equation gives distance. Can you think of out of the box answers?

0:22: 💡 Creativity is a valuable skill that is essential for future success in various fields. 4:02: 🧠 Creativity is the key to success in any aspect of life, not just art. 8:03: 🧠 Creativity decreases as we grow up due to associative limitations and increased expertise in a domain. 11:48: 💡 Using sleep as a creative technique and a solution for creative problems. 15:20: ✨ The video discusses three techniques to enhance creativity: practicing creativity while doing everyday tasks, using randomness to generate new ideas, and dreaming about problems to gain fresh perspectives. Recap by Tammy AI

Great Talk and great presentation!

I'll remember these points for next time!

Hey guys if you guys want to take it a step further with the random words once you're good at it .You create a three word link of random words including the first association word and once you have 3 random words create an image in you're head or a scene combining and using all three random words. If you want to go further and beyond then when you see the images in you're head and it seems generic or common force yourself to make it completely random by making more exaggerated or goofy looking even making look creepy this a pro tip by a drawing artist

I sometimes mis-hear people's random utterances and trying to reconcile or make sense of them can be quite a poetic exercise.

Why do we only try one?

This is for people who have never thought about creativity. It's what you do before 101.

So this is late but I'll answer anyways. His advice is to come up with random *unrelated* words quickly. Usually when trying to come up with random words they will have some connection (to the previous word or your surrounding). E.g. Toothbrush, Teeth, Mouth, Eat, Food, Pizza...... Instead you should try to come up with something like this: Toothbrush, Tire, Australia, Table, Rain, Children, Glass.....

This is what I heard about being creative: combine two old ideas to make a new one. The mobile phone plus computer for a smart phone is an example. OK, I realise a smart phone is more than that these days.

@balder_onarheim

Hi Joyce, yeah I'm mumbling a bit there.. The first tool: Train your brain to make 'random associations', by challenging yourself to produce a chain of words where you quickly come up with a list of words - where every word has nothing to do with the previous word. I do this every night while brushing my teeth, but you can do this whenever you have a spare minute! Happy cognitive training :)

I hope KZread on PC updates it's format just like on phone. Where you can see the video while commenting. Coz boy this sucks.
