I am reading in New Scientist today about 8 ways to boost your creativity:

1. Embrace your inner grouch

2. Let you mind wander

3. Play the piano

4. Colour your world blue

5. Seek out creative company

6. Live abroad

7. Be more playful

8. Raise a glass

These are all the result of separate studies at universities around the world.

I have to say they all seem quite attractive in themselves even without the added benefit of boosting creativity. That said 3 and 6 might present some practical difficulties, but I’ll keep working on the others. : )
