This year we have experienced a major disruption to the way we work. We have fallen into new normal patterns of working behaviour and gradually loss volumes of our old spark. Days have become movement-predictable, as we sit in our home workspace and wait or hope for something new to occur.
I noticed that my creativity was flattening after sitting for hours in my home office, staring at the screen, waiting, hoping for inspiration to show up!
When your pattern becomes edge-less, the creative-spark moments dissolve.
