Creativity is doing more than than the first thing you think of
Creativity involves generating multiple solutions beyond the initial idea that comes to mind. This process can be applied to everyday challenges, shifting from a task-oriented mindset to a problem-solving approach. For instance, managing grocery delivery can be transformed from a routine task into a creative problem, highlighting various methods of handling it. The mindset shift is crucial, as it allows individuals to explore alternative solutions. This is linked to the 'installing effect,' a cognitive bias where individuals overlook other options once a solution is identified, leading to limited problem-solving. To counter this effect, one should regularly ask, 'Is there another way to do this?' Most challenges in life have multiple valid answers. Embracing this perspective fosters creativity and innovation in everyday scenarios.
