5 Daily Habits to Unleash Your Creativity

At Young Media, we aspire to be creative at all times, from coming up with new concepts to solving problems. But what happens when we are creatively stuck? Here are some tips and techniques on how you can replenish your creativity.

Incorporate movement
Regular physical activity can be linked to heightened levels of inventiveness and creativity. At Young Media, we have daily brain walks, where our team walks together to get some exercise!

Change environment
How can you be creative when you see the same thing every day, change it up a bit. Young Media does not have designated desks, instead, everyone can sit wherever they like and change their immediate environment.

Ask for feedback
When you are stuck, a fresh perspective can help improve your workflow. Ask your colleagues or supervisors to take a look at your work and give you feedback, you can ask them to be critical or just offer some advice. It’s up to you.

Brainstorming Sessions
A great way to get your creativity flowing is in a group. Schedule a brainstorming session with your colleagues and write everything down. You will have new ideas that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise!

Find the right playlist
It’s no secret that music can inspire and at Young Media, we utilize this tool a lot. Everyone can pop in their earphones and let the music guide their creativity. Whether you like high-intensity music or prefer something more calming, it can all boost your creativity.

Next time you feel like your creativity has dried up, try one of the tips above. And if everything else fails, remember what Esmee our Creative Director says, “Creativity is a process. Just start, nothing needs to be perfect from the beginning. Once you realize that, everything gets easier”.  And who knows? Once you take that first step, inspiration might just surprise you!
