The Creativity Diary Entry 3: Listening properly, a sunrise for one, and ludicrous big Santa slippers

Jan 8, 2025

In this edition of The Creativity Diary:

Listening properly. Some reflections after reading Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan's Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing.

Reading wide and reading well: why only reading about the topic you're trying to master doesn't work for everyone, and is not conducive to creativity.

I was the only person in the world to see this sunrise and why that reminds us of our value and unique power.

An uncomfortable eccentric in Ryman Stationery and shaking up the peace.

The struggle to title myself, and why living in a big tech world demands flexibility in the application of creativity.

A strange vicarious joy in the idling of a friend at Christmas, and what it tells me.

The wild imaginations of children and what we adults can learn.
