From the HOW Design Conference Session "Galumphing, Goats on Roofs and Other Revelations for Inspiration" by Sam Harrison
First “take off your cool” and allow yourself to be silly and playful. When you find yourself in the “zombie zone,” remember the smells, sights, and sounds of childhood. Be a beginner again. Your “play zone” is more of a mental place than a physical one. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; Dyson made over 5000 “mistakes” before he invented his vacuum.
You are by nature intensely inquisitive, but can become numbed by monotony. Remember to see the surprises in this unruly world. Get outside of yourself and what you already know. Throw away your first 3 ideas; those are the ones everyone has. Ask one more question.
“You don’t have to be a creative person. You get to be a creative person.” Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up. You have your own style that no one else can duplicate. Celebrate it.
