Some classic John Cleese observations from the good folks over at Brain Pickings (Must see video clips below)
- Space (“You can’t become playful, and therefore creative, if you’re under your usual pressures.â€)
- Time (“It’s not enough to create space; you have to create your space for a specific period of time.â€)
- Time (“Giving your mind as long as possible to come up with something original,†and learning to tolerate the discomfort of pondering time and indecision.)
- Confidence (“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake.â€)
- Humor (“The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else.â€)
