Get Your Creative Juices Flowing at Work in 3 Simple Steps

Being creative at work can be a challenge for most people. Sometimes we are bogged down mentally and our surroundings are not exactly conducive to the development of thoughts and ideas. Here is my simple three step process that I use daily to ensure high productivity while at work.

Step 1: Always work from a plan. Plan your week at the beginning of each working week. List the things that you have outstanding and the objectives that you want to achieve. Break down your objectives into tasks that you will have to complete during the week in order to achieve your goal.

Step 2: Once you have your tasks and objectives identified. Clear your surroundings. File documents, return files, clean your workspace, and beautify your work area. This will decrease the amount of distractions around you and make you feel better about about the space that you occupy.

Step 3: Now that your environment is conducive to your creativity the last thing you will have to do is clear your mind of all your mental clutter. You can do this by saying a prayer, listening to your favorite song, putting away your cellphone, or by taking 20 deep breaths to clear your mind of any mental chatter.

Now you are ready to get your creative juices flowing! Follow these simple steps and you will be surprised of how creative and smart you really are!

Have a great work week!
