Overcoming Creative Stagnation

When feeling uninspired, introducing a short burst of diverse information can reignite creativity. This approach, referred to as ultra reading, involves selecting books from various genres and reading them briefly, allowing new ideas to emerge. For instance, someone may normally read personal development books but could benefit from exploring topics like science or gardening, which can inspire fresh perspectives. By engaging with unfamiliar content, individuals can stimulate their thinking and break free from their usual patterns.
