How do you keep the creative fires burning?

To keep your creative fire burning:


   1.   Daily Work/Play List: Divide a sheet of paper in half. List work tasks on one side and play activities on the other.

   2.   Commit: Ensure you complete at least one play item daily, along with your work tasks.

   3.   Inject Fun: Pretend, be kind, and enjoy your life.

   4.   Engage with Art: Look at art, make art, and create vision boards.

   5.   Remote Work Imagination: Work “remotely” from imaginary locations.

   6.   Weird Workspaces: Change up your environment, like working in a park or a café.

   7.   Creative Breaks: Take breaks to do something playful or creative, like doodling or playing a quick game.

   8.   Inspiration Walks: Go for a walk to clear your mind and gather new ideas.

   9.   Collaborate Creatively: Partner with someone on a fun, non-work-related project.

How do you continue to grow your professional skills?

Growing Professional Skills in Branding and Marketing


   1.   Focus on Real Work: Instead of award books, analyze the branding and marketing work being produced in the real world. Learn from successful campaigns and understand why they work.

   2.   Keep a Journal: Document your thoughts, ideas, and learnings. Regular reflection helps track progress and identify areas for improvement.

   3.   Maintain an Inspiration Board: Collect visuals, articles, and other materials that inspire you. This can spark creativity and provide new ideas.

   4.   Stay Curious: Embrace a “stay stupid” mindset. Always be open to learning and questioning your assumptions.

   5.   Be Humble: Reach out to industry professionals regularly. Aim for at least two conversations per day if you’re not busy. Meeting in person, if possible, builds stronger connections.

   6.   Commit to Learning: Stay updated with the latest trends and techniques in branding and marketing. Attend workshops, webinars, and conferences.
