For some people, really talented people, I imagine where you are matters much less than it does for others. An idea or an image of what could be oozes out of you regardless of environment. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a crowded room or listening to music or on a long car ride. You are awesome.
For me and many others, there are creative hot zones. Creative hot zones are those certain places, times of the day, specific songs, etc that seem to stir up your creativity. Sure, it can happen outside of one of your hot zones, but you know when you’re in when you are much more likely to find a creative groove. If you are someone who works most effectively in a hot zone, guess what? You’re awesome too.
For you the key is to spend time there. We need the discipline to schedule times to dream and create. Make a point of getting to your creative hot zone as frequently as you’re able. And depending on where or what it is for you, it may need to happen more often. One of mine , oddly enough, is the shower, usually at night. Some of my best ideas happen there, and often I’ve got an idea completely mapped out by the time I get out.
We need you to create. We need your unique perspective. If you know where or what your creative hot zone is, do us a favor and spend time there. If you haven’t found it yet, don’t be discouraged. Pay attention. Ask yourself questions. You’ll find it. And we’ll all be better off when you do.
Where or what are your creative hot zones?
