The Most In-Demand Skill of 2019
According to LinkedIn, the most in-demand skill of 2019 is creativity. I personally think this is because of how technologically advanced we are now. With bloggers and Youtubers and online business, creativity is key. So how do you become more creative?
I get
it, some people are just naturally more creative than others but we all suffer
from ‘writer’s block’ or ‘lack of inspiration’ from time to time so here are
some of my tips I have picked up doing research along the way on the topic of
how to keep those creative juices flowing!
- Speak to those around you
that inspire you. I’m not saying to
copy people but have a chat with those you know that are creative and see
what inspires and works for them.
It may work for you too. I
also love using Twitter to see what others are writing about for
inspiration. Just like I did with
this post after reading a post by LinkedIn on creativity.
- Keep a notebook handy. Sometimes out of nowhere you will just
be inspired by something and have lots of creative ideas so make sure you
have somewhere to write them down until you can use them properly. I love using the notepad app on my phone
to write down new blog post titles on subjects I want to talk about.
- Stop procrastinating. I know this is probably obvious and
you’ve heard it so many times before but sometimes you need to stop
putting things off and just give it a go.
You never know how well it will turn out. Even if you just do a rough draft or
outline of what you want to achieve you can always come back to it and add
to it over time when you’re feeling more creative. So do it now!
- Experiment. This kind of ties in with what I say
above about not knowing how good something can be until you try it. You want to create something that stands
out and isn’t the same as the rest so experiment with different ideas and
see how they turn out.
- Learn something new. If you really completely run out of new
ideas then why not try learning something new? A new skill? A new exercise? Recipe?
Anything! Not only will it
inspire you but it will also open up a whole avenue of new discussions on
your chosen new topic.
How do
you keep creative?
