You are a creator, innovator, and artist. Now we got that out of the way, what are some practical tactics and tips to empower you to be creative everyday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Sketch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sketches in a book, or make sketches in your phone (I like Zen Brush 2 app). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sketch whatever you see around you, and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t aim for it to be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Just aim to have fun, and fool around! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example I just sketched this on my phone in about 5 seconds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Photograph on your phone <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Snapshots are the best shots. Just shoot on your phone! I love iPhone and the HUJI CAM app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love blogging. I feel it is one of the most empowering ways to create and share ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t got a blog, make a WordPress.com blog if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not tech savvy. For more technical folks, use WordPress.org. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write anything! Blog like you would play a piano or any instrument. Have fun and enjoy the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Poetry <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Write a rhyme, one at a time. Ring your creative bells and chime. Make big dollars not cents, make lots of art and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry about your rent. Strive to make a dent in the universe like Steve Jobs, and stay childlike forever \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Calvin and Hobbes. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just made that up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something intrinsic and fun to rhyming, rapping, and poetry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have time to photograph or do anything else\u00e2\u20ac\u201d write rhymes! Do it on your phone or a piece of paper. Even Jay Z used to scribble rhymes on a brown bag when he was hustling on the streets and didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a pen or pad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: Just make it!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All art is good art. Whatever you create, have fun with it. Create like a child<\/a>. Tabula rasa (blank slate philosophy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
