Put Yourself in the Other Person's Shoes: This doesn't just mean
empathizing with other people's views - try and see things from other
creatures' points of view too. Whenever you see an animal, try to see the world (and yourself) from its point of
view.
Use your imagination to think yourself into the place of things - for
example, what is the point of view of the spoon with which you eat your
cereal? What is the point of view of the ball you are about to throw?
What is the point of view of the hat you are putting on? What is the
point of view of the car you are driving? What is the point of view of
the insect you are observing? What is the point of view of the star you
are seeing?
Put yourself in the shoes of a customer/client, or the
product itself, or a Martian. Discuss your situation with friends in
very different walks of life.
Creativity
requires spending time "doing nothing" - workaholism guarantees its
death
