Crafting the best learning and development solutions requires a healthy dose of creative thinking. But creativity can sometimes feel elusive, especially when there are deadlines, learning objectives, and multiple stakeholders in the mix.<\/p>\n

At Maestro, creativity and innovation are among our primary values\u2014they\u2019re woven into everything we do<\/a>, from strategy to service to design. And while our team of learning creators never fails to deliver the highest quality learning experiences, they\u2019re not unfamiliar with the phenomenon of feeling creatively blocked. But that feeling doesn\u2019t stop them; to them, it\u2019s an opportunity. An opportunity to take a step back, get outside, fall in love with art again, and put themselves out there. An opportunity to enter into a \u201cstate of play.\u201d<\/p>\n

World-renowned graphic designer Paula Scher describes being in a state of play as \u201chaving the ability to freely associate and see new possibilities and combinations in old ideas that become new again.\u201d In her article \u201c10 Rules for Play<\/a>\u201d for the Figma blog, she encourages somewhat unorthodox activities\u2014like sitting in a waiting room, changing your tools, and initiating your own cluster\u2014to get the creative juices flowing again.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Scher\u2019s advice, we\u2019ve compiled our own list of tips, taken directly from our team of learning innovators, to reignite that creative spark.<\/p>\n

Maestro\u2019s \u201c10 rules for play\u201d<\/h2>\n

While the following list doesn\u2019t consist of \u201crules,\u201d per se, it does consist of tried and true methods for breaking through creative blocks in order to create truly innovative learning development solutions. But these methods can also be applied to any creative endeavor, learning-related or not\u2014our team applies these methods to their creative pursuits outside of work, including stained glass artwork, murals, children\u2019s picture books, illustrating, and more.<\/p>\n

1. Get out of your head, and into your body<\/h3>\n

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for a project is leave it alone (temporarily, of course). A watched pot never boils, right? So go outside, get your blood pumping, and give yourself some room to move.<\/p>\n

\"Zach<\/p>\n

\u201cBreathe fresh air and clear your mind. If I’m ever in a slump, or needing clarity on a project or problem, I throw on a weighted rucksack and walk the trails in the woods behind my house. It’s a one-mile loop, which keeps it around a 20-minute walk with no music, no podcasts, no notifications. This brief escape almost always clears my mind and allows room for creative thinking, exploration, and problem-solving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting into your body doesn\u2019t always mean going outside. Sometimes, it can simply mean using your hands to make something new.<\/p>\n

\"Amy<\/p>\n

\u201cGet away from the computer and go \u2018hands-on\u2019 with creativity. I\u2019m a big fan of painting (I paint very small things like monograms to large things like murals) so creating art, sketching ideas, and even lettering helps get my creativity flowing a bit. I also enjoy organizing or cleaning something when I\u2019m experiencing a creative block. It’s a quick task and a bit of problem-solving that helps you think about how something fits into your routine or a small space.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Prioritize input over output<\/h3>\n

In a similar vein, this tip urges you to turn your attention away from your project or work in progress for a time. Focus on absorbing what you love instead of worrying about what you have to produce\u2014after all, you can\u2019t pour from an empty cup.<\/p>\n

\"Ireland<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a writer, if I’m trying to create something new and original but am feeling stuck, I immerse myself in other media and art forms\u2014music, paintings, food. Nothing gets me more inspired than experiencing someone else’s inspiration (or the product of their inspiration). It makes me fall in love with creativity all over again, and a little \u2018if they can do that, so can I\u2019 can be a great motivator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prioritize your input if you want a great output. Consider what you\u2019re using as inspiration and context as you delve into a creative project.<\/p>\n

\"Bedich<\/p>\n

\u201cContinuous learning is key. You can’t just come up with relevant and novel ideas out of thin air, it requires noodling on the subject matter, hearing other takes on it, and engaging in networked thinking. There’s a great concept out there called the \u2018mind garden\u2019<\/a> that talks about the curation of ideas. As an example in this context, you\u2019d take idea \u2018seeds\u2019 from one podcast you listened to and combine it with idea \u2018seeds\u2019 from a book you read, to form your own unique understanding of the connection points between the two. Eventually, you\u2019d share your own idea \u2018seeds\u2019 with others, allowing the process to repeat itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Take notes<\/h3>\n

Not every idea will be a winner, but they\u2019re still worth writing down. Especially if you, like our Customer Success Manager, Sean\u2014who pursues art in the form of stained glass in his free time\u2014don\u2019t have a ton of time to explore and experiment with your creative outlet.<\/p>\n

\"Holland<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking full-time and parenting means I normally have a limited window (after my children\u2019s bedtime and before mine) to sit and focus for a couple of hours. At times, it can be difficult to enter the right mindset during a predetermined period without some inspiration. To ensure I’m not starting from a blank creative state each time I sit down, I tend to carry a small pocket notebook with me where I jot down notes and quick sketches. Referencing these ideas usually helps provide any spark that’s needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Don\u2019t take notes<\/h3>\n

Yes, this tip is the opposite of the previous one. But while taking notes works for many people, sometimes it\u2019s more beneficial to hang on to the idea for a while before writing it down. It all depends on your unique creative process.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the idea bake. Historically, I’ve been quick to jot down ideas that I have, writing out my thought process so I don’t lose them. What I’ve found is that this almost locks an idea in prematurely, and stunts any further development of that thought. If I resist the urge to write an idea down and trust that the important details will resurface if they’re truly important enough, the idea continues to evolve, and I can actually communicate it to others more easily because I can speak to it more flexibly, rather than being too rigid about what I\u2019m communicating.\u201d

5. Procrastinate<\/h3>\n

Not every moment has to be a productive one. Every now and then, a bit of procrastination can be healthy for the creative process and lead to the greatest breakthroughs.<\/p>\n

\"Hank<\/p>\n

\u201cI never feel more creative than when I can\u2019t be at my desk. Doing the dishes, running errands, stuck somewhere boring, that\u2019s when I often get urges to work. When I do these boring necessities with a specific idea in mind, I find that I\u2019m able to let new connections bubble up to the surface. More directly, if I\u2019m working on a project that I\u2019m intimidated by, it\u2019s so helpful to do all the \u2018boring\u2019 legwork before I start getting creative\u2014organizing my files and resources so I don\u2019t have to go looking, setting up my artboards and layers so that I can visualize my limitations, and so on. When I\u2019m feeling nervous about getting started on the \u2018real\u2019 work, I no longer have those tasks to procrastinate with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Marion<\/p>\n

\u201cInspiration doesn\u2019t always strike when I want it to. I\u2019ll often have to force myself to sit in a quiet room and let my mind wander and put in the hours of sitting with the idea. Sometimes I get sick of working on something to the point of feeling hopelessness creep in, and it negatively (and incorrectly) impacts how I view the work I\u2019ve done so far. So when I feel too close to a project, I jump ship. I let it go completely and give myself permission to not care about it for a hot second. When I care too much, I\u2019m often keeping myself from doing what\u2019s best for the project. So I abandon ship, jump into the water, and go for a swim until I feel excited to get back onto the ship.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. Keep learning<\/h3>\n

Great art requires thought and effort. It\u2019s a misconception that creativity is a spontaneous force. The most effective outputs, for learning or otherwise, are created with intention.<\/p>\n

\u201cA writer that I admire, Shea Serrano, once said that he found his writer\u2019s block was often a result of not doing enough research. I think that\u2019s true in design as well. It\u2019s really difficult and even irresponsible to try to design for something you don\u2019t fully understand. Designers are visual communicators, and that means you should ideally be able to \u2018speak\u2019 intelligently about what you\u2019re designing for. That goes for art as well\u2014art should have an intention, and to communicate your intention effectively, you should know what you\u2019re \u2018talking\u2019 about.\u201d

7. Share before you\u2019re ready<\/h3>\n

This tip might sound a bit intimidating, but it can truly save you tons of time and lighten the mental load that comes with many creative endeavors.<\/p>\n

\"Kendra<\/p>\n

\u201cMy new motto is \u2018share before I\u2019m ready.\u2019 I often wait until something feels just perfect before sharing with a coworker or client, but now I challenge myself to open up to feedback before I get into the \u2018Why am I even a designer?\u2019 rut. I\u2019ll also give myself a shorter time limit to create, and be honest with myself about what\u2019s really needed now and what can be refined later, which helps me feel more open to feedback\u2014because I didn\u2019t put my whole life into what I\u2019m sharing\u2014and avoid getting stuck on an ideal outcome and striving for perfection the first time around. When I \u2018share before I\u2019m ready,\u2019 I get new ideas, see things from a different perspective, and feel more energized and less burned out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you, I get so sick of being inside this noggin of mine. It\u2019s exhausting! Sometimes, to break my cycles of overthinking and overanalyzing, I need to get out of my head. So I pitch my ideas to anyone and everyone who will listen to me. Even if the idea is nowhere near \u2018ready.\u2019 My cat. My partner. My favorite barista. This helps me learn how to talk about my ideas, and in the process, engage with the concept in a new way, encouraging me to consider it from other perspectives. The act of saying something out loud changes things up for me. And it gives me a sneak peek of how other people will engage with my work. I learned this tip from Swedish director and Palme d\u2019Or winner, Ruben \u00d6stlund.\u201d
\n\u2014Marion Jamet, Lead Producer + Writer<\/p>\n

8. Generate cheap ideas<\/h3>\n

Much like sharing before you\u2019re ready, this tip encourages you to stop striving for perfection and think of creativity as a numbers game instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to start everything I do on paper and pen. Not nice paper, not a nice pen, just scratching out cheap and even bad ideas to get them out of my head. If I\u2019m working on a website, I doodle some boxes to get the rough structure. If it\u2019s a logo, I draw any idea that I think of that relates to the concept, especially my worst ideas. Productive creativity is often a numbers game, and the more ideas I generate, the more I chip away at the correct solution.\u201d
\n\u2014Hank Ewbank, Senior Designer<\/p>\n

9. Keep it simple<\/h3>\n

Just as learning is a process<\/a>, creating is also a process, and often it\u2019s a messy one. It\u2019s easy to get lost in the weeds of this process, especially at the beginning, when all you\u2019re working with are abstract ideas, which are constantly changing shape. If that happens, it helps to simplify your goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I get overwhelmed when I\u2019m in the beginning stages of a creative project. And when I have too many ideas swirling around in my head, I can lose track of what feels right. When this happens, I take a step back and simplify my goal: what do I want people to feel when they\u2019re engaging with this? I try to keep it to a word or short phrase. Then I think about the last time I felt that way. Was I watching a movie? Was I reading a book? Was I listening to a song or reminiscing on a memory? This forces me to stop thinking and start feeling. After some successful feeling, I turn my thinking cap back on and ask why\u2014why did engaging with this make me feel that way?\u201d
\n-Marion Jamet, Lead Producer + Writer<\/p>\n

10. Engage with others<\/h3>\n

We often view creativity as a solitary act, but sometimes the most innovative and inspiring ideas come from creative collaboration. Ideating with others can spark thoughts you wouldn\u2019t have arrived at on your own, introduce you to new perspectives, and get your creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n

\"Melanie<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very rare that ideating in isolation gives me the best ideas. Brainstorming and groupthink help get me out of my head and challenge me to think differently. Outside of work, I\u2019m a pre-published illustrator and writer of children\u2019s picture books, so I love taking classes and hosting group activities like Ladies Drawing Night<\/a>, inspired by the book, to really get my creativity flowing.\u201d<\/p>\n
