By on April 22, 2009 in TECHNOLOGY

Recently I wrote a post about a sim­ple tech­nique for enhanc­ing your cre­ativ­ity that I learned from read­ing the book Cre­ativ­ity by psy­chol­o­gist Mihaly Csik­szent­mi­ha­lyi.  In a nut­shell 1. Be sur­prised by some­thing every day, 2. Sur­prise some­one every­day, 3. Write both down and chron­i­cle them over time. I thought it might be wise to share […]
