My system is broken up into sections that have evolved as a reaction to the stuff I save. There are three pillars to my system and feel free to sign up at gettacklebox.com for an email with details on it. The key here is to remove friction, you want it to be comically easy for you to save something. If you're trying to remember one thing your mind isn't free to make other connections,. That means I need to put out a podcast each week so I can hear what's going on in others' minds.
Today, we'll help you build a system for creativity. We'll start by defining creativity as an equation to make it more accessible. Then, we'll develop a system that focuses on the inputs of the creativity equation. We talk through the Commonplace Book, Commencement Speeches, a sports writer and the movie Sahara. Then, we get into the weeds on how to set up and implement your own personal creativity system.
