Creative block

Being an ‘ideas person’ the most frustrating thing for me is when I hit the wall and the ideas just aren’t flowing.

Listen to music

Music lifts my energy and can very easily put me in a creative mood which is great for idea generation! Put together a playlist specifically for those times you need a creative pick me up – I promise it works!

I find it’s a very useful tool if I’m totally stuck for ideas. I get my pen and paper ready, drink my coffee, and start writing down everything that comes to mind.

The only problem is when the coffee wears off I end up with this huge list of great ideas, and not a lot of energy to actually progress them…
