What is Creativity?

The creative process is the act of making new connections between old ideas or recognizing relationships between concepts. Creative thinking is not about generating something new, but rather about taking what is already present and combining those pieces and bits in a way that has not been done previously.
While being creative isn't easy, nearly all great ideas follow a similar creative process.

The Creative Process

Gather new material, at first, then you learn. During this stage you focus on

learning specific material directly related to your task and
learning general material by becoming fascinated with a wide range of concepts.
During this stage, you examine what you have learned by looking at the facts from different angles and experimenting with fitting various ideas together.
Now step away from the problem. Then put the problem completely out of your mind and go do something else that excites you and energizes you.
Let your idea return to you. At some point, but only after you have stopped thinking about it, your idea will come back to you with a flash of insight and regaining of energy.
