Sitting in front of a computer for too long can drain the inspiration from even the most inspired among us. In a world of cubicles, budgets and deadlines, it’s important to refresh our perspectives and find ways to keep the inspiration alive. My quick fix? A bit of retail therapy and a good song.
While the nearest mall might not seem the most inventive place, rest assured –it is a branding mecca and can conjure up ideas or simply clear space for new ones! I visit the nearby Anthropologie every few weeks and am continually amazed at how a switch in merchandising and color can revive my creativity, no purchase necessary. In a pinch, try flipping through their online catalogue.
Music is a must, whether you use Spotify, iTunes or Pandora. Try a new platform; it will force you to build new song lists, discover new artists and shift the background of your day-to-day.
