Five steps to making your life more creative

John Cleese’s Philosophy on Creativity

1- Space2- Time3- Time

4- Confidence5- Humor

Space1 -An undisturbed quiet space away from the usual demands- No daily pressures, mind is free to become playful

Time2 - A specific moment, period of time- Equal start and stop moments- Seal from the usual routine, secluded time frame- “Oasis of quiet” for the mind to freely be playful- Idea rush + calming down – 1h30 is best

Time (yes, again!)3 - Understand how to use the time frame- To get rid of the anxiety that rises at the idea rush- Taking a decision: the longer it takes, the more original & creative it will be

Confidence4 - The very essence of playfulness is the openness of the mind to anything, and the freedom to play with ideas- There is no such thing as a mistake and any wonder is a solution- David M. Kelley, people who gain new confidence see themselves differently about many things in life and are more creative

Humor5 - Fastest gateway from the closed to the open mode- Essential part of the spontaneity and creativity needed to solve problems- Laughter brings relaxation from the anxiety- Humor frees the mind

“You can’t be spontaneous within reason.”

- Alan Watts
