Developing creative thinking

Change a routine
Vary some of your routines so you don’t go into automatic pilot. Do you shower, get dressed, have breakfast? Could you shower, have breakfast, and then get dressed? Do you come home and watch TV every Friday? Could you instead ask a friend round and cook a meal together, or read a book, or do some DIY? Do you get up in the morning, access the Internet, and check your emails? Could you get up, do some gentle exercise, get ready, and then check your emails? Any changes in routine can help keep your brain active.
