      By far the most important factor to my own creativity is the author’s sixth point, avoiding interruptions. I can be creative without purpose, and without being strongly motivated, and certainly without scheduling a time to be creative. Even a lack of skill doesn’t stunt my creativity, with Photoshop being my own counter-example. I will never master that behemoth. But there is one thing that stops my own creativity cold: interruptions. And to that point, the environment is aso important.

      I liked the writer’s advice about creating an optimum physical environment. A lot of helpful tips here that I’ll incorporate into my next writing session!

      I love the concept of “flow” and almost everything the author says. I just don’t love that this is written as a listicle.

      Really well written and sound advice. People always say they are not creative, which is not true. Or that creativity involves artistic talent and an end result like a painting or sculpture. But living a really healthy, balanced life takes creativity. You could certainly apply this author's suggestions to a meditation practice, gardening, cooking, exercising. It’s a life skill that needs development and practice. It’s so worth the effort because flow creates such ease and joy.
