How To Be Creative: Presented to AAF-Dubuque
The document provides tips for improving creativity. It begins by stating creativity is not just innate talent but can be developed. It then lists four assumptions to make including that there are always better tools, events will happen regardless of learning about them, understanding of the universe is limited, and creating what you care about today is most important. It emphasizes that ideas are cheap but execution is difficult. Tips include starting even if you suck at first, having a ritual, keeping trying ideas, and eventually improving. The document acknowledges even creative people struggle daily with applying these tips and encourages discussion of the content.
