I read a book called "How to Write a Thesis" by Umberto Eco. The author presented an interesting perspective, which he called scientific humility. He explained that when you pay attention to small things, unrelated content or topics, or even a comic strip, you can find out-of-the-box ideas that can expand your creativity. I have experienced the benefits of doing this many times. History also proves that significant innovations have come about this way.

Overcome practical constraints by having a flexible and inventive mentality. Determine and prioritise the key components of your creative vision. Investigate alternate alternatives and resources to overcome limits. Collaborate with professionals to get new views and ideas. Use current technologies and resources to increase creativity within constraints. Encourage gradual improvement and appreciate little successes. Maintain open communication with stakeholders in order to set expectations and get support. This technique promotes resilience and guarantees that your creative vision is realised in the face of practical problems.

To overcome practical limitations blocking a creative vision, start by clearly identifying the specific constraints—whether they are budgetary, time-based, resource, or technological. Next, break down your vision into essential components and prioritize them, focusing on the aspects that will have the most impact. Consider alternative methods, tools, or approaches that achieve similar results with the available resources. Collaboration is also key; reach out to team members or external contacts who might offer new perspectives or solutions. Lastly, remain flexible and open to adapting the vision. Sometimes, constraints can drive even more innovative approaches, refining and enhancing the end result.

I have seem that taking some time off helps you redefine the project and gain a fresh perspective. Sometimes we feel stuck and pressed with time constraints and requirements to deliver, affecting the quality of the project at hand. leaving the project for some time and attending other things, may add a new vision we may not be considering at the moment. Use the time off also to expand our horizons and get inspiration from other creative areas, not necessarily related with the project, activity or industry we are working on. Finally, creativity is not always delivering something new, but sometimes finding new ways to communicate, or putting together some apparently unrelated items, which will bring a new and fresh idea.

If practical limitations are blocking you repeatedly, you need to reconsider either your creative vision or the limitations. In my case, budget or resource is the major limitation I find now and then. I accept this limitation and consider myself 'CHINA'. Why? well, china replicates every high pricy product into a cheap model. Even if I don't like the approach, it often helps the business. Consider doing it, you'll love the result. Thank me later.
