creative vocabulary

Increasing Your Creative Vocabulary

Don The Idea Guy July 18, 2020

I listen to podcasts and watch videos and take courses and read books/blogs/articles to increase my vocabulary and evolve faster.

By “vocabulary” I don’t mean to learn bigger and better words (though that’s also a benefit), I mean vocabulary in a creative sense. I consume media in order to help me find words to explain and to name the concepts and ideas on which I am working, and to aid in evolving those ideas more quickly in order to bring them into reality.

Enhance your vocabulary of creative ideas and innovative concepts

I may have been bouncing around an idea inside my brain for a few days or a couple of weeks, but an interview with a bright thinker that brings a different sets of skills and a different perspective from a completely unrelated field can help fast-forward my own thinking by years simply by listening or reading about the projects and experiences they are sharing with the world.

It sort of like playing a board game and drawing a card that lets you skip ahead two spaces.

You’ve been rolling the dice and getting ones. You’re advancing, but oh-so-slowly. Getting to jump forward a few spaces or winning an extra roll can make all the difference in winning the game.

Roll the dice and listen to a random new podcast today, or spin the wheel on a Google search by pressing the “I’m feeling lucky” button and land on a wild-card article or blog post.

That next idea you read about might make you a winner.

Don’t Lose Your Head

There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don’t “do the work” and expect other people to cover for them, they’re constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear […]

Shake Things Up

The new year is nearly upon us and I call upon you to take up the challenge to shake things up like snow globe in the twelve months to follow. It’s only fair, right? This past year has shaken-up (or just plain shaken) many of the things we took for granted — being able to […]

Become An Idea Distillery

When you think about a distillery you probably think of a quality bourbon or whisk(e)y where a master distiller chooses the best ingredients, adds heat, allows it to age, and then pours that precious essence into bottles for consumers to share and savor. I think this same general process can be used for taking imaginative […]
