Taking a break from the task can be surprisingly effective. Whether it’s a short walk, a quick workout, or doing something unrelated like cooking or cleaning, stepping away from the problem allows the mind to relax and reset. Often, inspiration strikes when you’re not forcing it.

@bianca_tanase Great advice! Taking breaks really can refresh the mind and spark new ideas. Do you have a favorite activity you turn to when you need a mental reset?
Andreea S.
@bianca_tanase That sounds so refreshing! I also find that getting outside helps clear my mind. For me, hiking in nature, playing a game of tennis, or swimming are my top choices for a mental reset. Each of these activities gives me a change of scenery and a boost of energy.

Breaking the task into smaller chunks and focusing on one small part at a time helps me get unstuck

@idowbmarc That's a great approach! Breaking tasks into smaller chunks can make them feel much more manageable.

Stepping away from the task and engaging in a different activity, like taking a walk or chatting with some else. It leads to fresh ideas when I return to the task with a renewed perspective. This simple reset can make a big difference in boosting creativity.

Not forcing my brain to think creatively helps me to get creative ideas at unexpected situations

For me it's always talk to people. Talking to people from different background, culture; people of different ages who holds different opinions. Really helps me to see a bigger picture

Taking breaks is huge! I find that doing something physical like going for a run or even just doing chores around the house gets me out of my head and lets ideas percolate in the background. Meditation also helps me reset and gain a fresh perspective. Another trick is to work on a totally different kind of creative project for a bit to get the juices flowing again.
