Boosting That Creative Spark

So here you are, sitting at your desk or hopefully standing, trying to think of the some ideas for the gaming application but nothing seems to be coming to you. And it really isn't helping to be staring at the screen for so long. There are a couple things that you can do to be more creative and get the ball rolling to the right direction. Make sure that the room you are sitting in is spacious. It will help broaden your thoughts and attention. While you are looking for large rooms, pay attention to the colors as well. Blues and greens are relaxing and conducive to that creative state. Once you have settled on a place, make sure to always be changing it up because static surroundings encourage static thinking. Don't be predictable. You should sometimes change everyday routines, such as where you go for coffee or your route to work. If you are stuck on a problem, take a break and do something different such as taking a cap nap, listen to music, meditate, or play a game.

  1. Sometimes it even helps to be distracted by talking to someone over internet phones. By not thinking about the problem, you might be able to come up with something creative.

  2. I find that playing a game, especially not on a mobile application, helps spark something. When was the last time you played a board game?

  3. If might be a good idea to get away from mobile applications and all screens. Take a walk outside and really pay attention to the sights, smells, and sounds.

  4. Sometimes web applications can be inspiring. I have one that puts a quote up every time I open it.
