Creative blocks

Discovered this thoughtful list of mental blocks to creative thinking via Ancient Artist and it sure makes sense to me.

Having worked in the sciences most of my adult life I discovered it was the deviation from the normative than often unleashed the answer to both simple and complicated questions.

Sometimes my colleagues approved of my tangential thoughts and how I linked one disparate idea to another, while others appreciated them. 

In the end, I got stuff done, but not always by the book, and more often than not, outside the rules. 

Now it is time to apply that way of thinking to those projects I have sitting and awaiting for my creative attention.
