Creativity

How can you be intentional about creativity? What tools/processes can you use to beckon creativity at a moment's notice?
 I can think of a few ways:
  • you take reality and stretch/shorten/ some other way distort it.e.g- a double storeyed car,  a foldable plane
  • you disrupt natural flow of things. e.g -water flowing uphill, paying people to shop.
  • think of what can't happen and remove no from it. E.g.- a car can't run without fuel- a creative challenge can be a car that runs without fuel\
  • add incremental stuff to existing, e.g-a phone that can act as a car heater too.
  • take 2 incompatible things and merge them together- chocolate and paint seem to be 2 incompatible things- what about a chocolaty and edible paint!
  • take inspiration from nature- e.g.-sky like ceilings whose colors can be changed-like sky changes colour depending on weather conditions.
  • We could also think about how something should sound, look, smell, or feel like. e.g- sweets that look like birds, smell like eggs, and that emit a peech-peech sound when you chew them.
These are 7 ways I could think of intentionally being creative. What other ways can you think of?
