Creativity is more than skills, talents, and techniques: it is an approach to life. It is also something that can be practised and improved. SynTAROTis has given you exercises to practise your creativity (see Just imagine …, Crime cards!, Exercising creativity, Odd card out, Telling stories, and Practising problem-solving) and techniques to solve problems (see SynTAROTis techniques so far). But why strive to become more creative?
Being creative means you can:
- solve complex problems,
- find original and effective solutions,
- think more flexibly and fluently,
- look at a problem from different angles,
- come up with ideas no one else has had,
- when logic fails, discover alternative ways to find your way out,
- see the potential in things,
- discover new opportunities,
- reduce uncertainty,
- see connections more quickly,
- find ways to improve a product or a process,
- approach life with wonder and curiosity,
- play,
- see things differently,
- adapt quickly to change when old solutions or ways of doing things no longer serve,
- increase your productivity, as well as the quality of work,
- delve into the past to find lessons and meaning,
- consider the consequences of an action before you carry it out,
- explore the causes of a situation, which may explain what is going on, and
- examine your assumptions and beliefs, which can remove potential obstacles before you start.
