Lately I haven’t been able to come up with unique or creative solutions to the tasks I need to complete. I’ve been scrambled and pulled in so many different directions on so many different projects and wasn’t able to solely focus on one at a time. Juggling all these projects led me to become the post it queen. After not being able to execute on anything, I decided it was time to get organized. So, I created a spreadsheet laying out all the different projects I was working on, a description of them, what steps I have completed, what is left to do, and a projected finish date. After doing this and laying out all my projects in one spreadsheet, I was able to see the missing gaps. Ideas were popping in my head like “oh I could put THIS over HERE” and “I can do this next” or “I forgot about this part”. I was also able to attach my notes and resources so that I didn’t have anything on my post its. Prior to my spreadsheet, I just kept adding onto my post its and I even had to start a separate to do list because I couldn’t keep track of all my post its.
Once I realized I needed to get organized, it helped clear my mine, Once my mind was clear and the layout of all my projects and tasks stood before me, I was able to connect dots, see some gaps, and get creative! Who would have thought that by organizing my projects, it would spark my creativity. How do you get creative?
Hi, nice post! I get creative simply taking a break from the tasks I am stuck into. Even a simple walk outside helps me thinking differently and grasping potential solutions! What did the ability of connecting dots produced in your experience? Which was the task you were involved into?

For my job I was trying to come up with some solutions and just felt too disorganized. Once I got organized I was able to think clearly.

Being organised creates space to see all things together.
