Honour the Unexceptional

It's a busy and complex world: simply dealing with the day's affairs needs attention and energy. It's difficult to catch the small, quiet signs, but sometimes these can be the most important ones to notice. Our focus on the immediate issue - what must be done - can blind us to features in the whole situation that may be vital.

This leads to two types of creative techniques:

Catch the idea

	Carry a notebook & write it down
	Record your dreams
	Manage the process - be aware - notice things (see Peter Senge / Vth Discipline)
	Keep a journal

Allow Time & Space

	Try meditation, yoga, catnaps
	Have a quiet place / time each day
	Make a habit of using the "back burner" - sleep on it.
