• There are Four Ways to Be Creative
• Deliberate and Cognitive Creativity
• You must have a pre-existing body of knowledge about one or more particular topics. One must also be given enough time to work through a topic/problem.
• Deliberate and Emotional Creativity
• Requires quiet time to think and ponder. Step away from the problem. People tend to have an a-ha moment having to do with feelings and emotions.
• Spontaneous and Cognitive Creativity
• Conscious part of the brain stops working on the problem and gives the unconscious part a chance to work instead. *Step away and do a different unrelated activity.
• Spontaneous and Emotional Creativity
• Often one must have a skill (such as musician, artist, writer) to create something from spontaneous and emotional creativity.
• **Allow yourself time to work on a design solution and when you get stuck take a step back (sleep on it).**
