1 Identify your biases

We all have cognitive biases that influence our decisions, such as confirmation bias, anchoring, or framing. These biases can limit our ability to see different perspectives, generate novel ideas, or challenge assumptions. To overcome them, you need to be aware of them and actively seek out alternative views, evidence, and feedback. You can also use tools like the Six Thinking Hats or the Ladder of Inference to help you examine your thinking process and avoid jumping to conclusions.

Stuck in a decision rut? It can stifle creativity! Here's the fix: Challenge your assumptions. Feed your brain new ideas: read widely, watch diverse content. Experiment with creativity techniques: brainstorm, mind map, or try random prompts. Embrace the mess! Not every idea is a winner. Reward yourself for trying new things.

Great question! Strong decision-making is key, but it shouldn't stifle creativity. Try bracketing decisions during brainstorming. Let loose, explore wild ideas, then use your honed decision-making skills to evaluate and refine them later.

Decision making and creative thinking are interrelated to one another. In the event one hinders the other, I believe something is wrong in the implementation of the procedural processes. Laid down once again the step by step processes in order to identify where did the breakdown happened and rectify it, so that the desired result will be achieved.

2 Diversify your sources

Another way to boost your creative thinking is to expose yourself to different sources of information, inspiration, and insight. You can read books, articles, or blogs from different fields, industries, or cultures. You can watch TED talks, documentaries, or movies that spark your curiosity. You can listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or music that challenge your assumptions. You can also network with people from different backgrounds, professions, or interests and learn from their experiences and perspectives.

3 Experiment with methods

There is no one right way to make decisions or solve problems. Depending on the situation, you might need to use different methods or techniques to generate, evaluate, or implement your ideas. You can experiment with methods such as brainstorming, mind mapping, SCAMPER, SWOT analysis, or decision matrix. You can also try using tools like the Creative Problem Solving Model, the Design Thinking Process, or the Lean Startup Methodology. The key is to be flexible and adaptable and to test your ideas with real data and feedback.

There are countless techniques to spur creative thinking - from brainstorming to mind mapping to SCAMPER. Don't get stuck in a rut using the same approach. Experiment with different ideation methods and see what unlocks innovative ideas for you. Combining methods can also yield powerful results. For example, try brainwriting (silent brainstorming) followed by mind-mapping the ideas generated.

4 Embrace uncertainty

One of the biggest obstacles to creative thinking is the fear of uncertainty. We often prefer to stick to what we know, what we are comfortable with, or what we think is safe. However, uncertainty is also an opportunity to explore new possibilities, learn new skills, and discover new solutions. To embrace uncertainty, you need to be willing to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. You also need to be open-minded, curious, and optimistic and to see challenges as opportunities rather than threats.

The fear of being wrong or making mistakes can stifle creativity. Truly innovative ideas feel uncertain and risky at first. Cultivate a mindset of curiosity about the unknown. Ask "what if?" questions and explore unconventional possibilities without judgment initially. Recognize that breakthrough ideas often seem crazy before they become brilliant. Have the courage to embrace uncertainty.

5 Reward yourself

Finally, one of the best ways to improve your decision-making and creative thinking skills is to reward yourself for your efforts and achievements. You can celebrate your successes, big or small, by treating yourself to something you enjoy, such as a meal, a movie, or a hobby. You can also acknowledge your progress, feedback, or learning by keeping a journal, a portfolio, or a gratitude list. By rewarding yourself, you will boost your motivation, confidence, and satisfaction and encourage yourself to keep growing and improving.

In addition, creative thinking isn't just a skill, it's a lifestyle. Make space for creative outlets beyond work, whether a artistic hobby, recreational activities that engage your mind differently, or just unstructured time to daydream. Look for inspiration everywhere - in nature, art, your experiences. Collect ideas like writing them down or snapping photos of interesting objects or scenes. Immerse yourself in a creative environment to flex your innovative muscles.
