Nice Post, Scott. Though, in your top three, you left out the most important—–GOD! Belief and thankfulness towards God for all that we are inspires an unending creative cup….juice for all that one does.

Your list is all the measurable stuff, which is necessary and very important.

Your list lacks the unmeasurable stuff…the abstract qualities of mind, which should be mentioned even if it cannot be measured.

You certainly have the right experience, combination and process in making this post.

I think creativity should also include inspiration. We may have enough experience, the right combination and great process for a creative work, but without inspiration our work would lack taste and will later be boring.

Good and luminous post!

I think the whole process can also be divided into several parts, including collect, organize,review and etc. , which is similar to what David allen said in Getting Things Done.

Collect: collect knowledge from books,nets,friends and also introspection;
Organize: find the deep and logical relations of these knowledge and organize them into a knowledge system;
Review: Often retrospect to find new relations in your knowledge system, and from which you can derive a lot of new knowledge.

Most important, there should be some record of your knowledge system, for example, through a software of knowledge management system.This is similar to the evolving process of our human being’s culture, and the discovery of paper played an important role in it.

Great point made.

Creativity is from experiences
Thus the more experiences we have, we can be more creative

I myself use visualization daily. It clears my mind and be really focus. Sometimes inspiring thoughts appear . I believe my creative mind is at work

Most importantly, always be an open cup and keep learning.
If we think we have learnt all we can, our creativity stops.

My way to share my creativity is to own a blog to share how one can accelerate his results by applying appropriate goal settings and law of attraction:-
