Thinking Spots
Monday, September 18, 2006
DId you know that only one out of a hundred ideas happens at work?
I've been thinking about this and I always wonder is there some specific place or a specific kind of environment that would trigger more creative ideas compared to other place. I'm sure you've heard of the Mastercard "Priceless" ads. Guess where was the idea birth? In the shower.
An article by Lucy Kellaway of Financial Times stated from a survey that bath and shower are top creative venues. So too are the train and the car. The golf course is meant to be good as well, as is the gym. In fact most places are fine for ideas - up a mountain, in bed, on a beach, in an art gallery, etc. However one thing that wasn't mentioned was the office. I wonder why...
From what I've gathered there aren't really specific spots that will trigger creativity, however there are certain elements in the environment that'll help in producing creative juices. Want to know what it is? Simple, a place where you can think uninterrupted. Once you've found that place keep going to that place. By thinking that you've found your thinking spot it gives you a mental edge that you'll for sure manage to think of ideas or solutions in that spot! (When you think hard enough that you've got it, most probably you will)
Want to know where most of my ideas come from?
