Welcome to Creativity Cookies, your monthly invitation to creative action!
The BIG IDEA for this month is
This is an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT in response to information fatigue. We have so-o-o- much information coming at us from so-o-o- many places. Sometimes, we fear that if we Google what we’re working on, we’ll find thousands (millions?) of examples of others doing it better and more elegantly.
But we can also gather inspiration reaching through time and across geography. Drinking in all these influences makes us collaborators with all that we see and experience. What richness!
Once a week, visit a random website (http://www.stumbleupon.com/ ?) or email and ask “how will I let this inform or inspire my work ?”
