Want to see something that will stimulate ideas and get you thinking about creativity? Watch The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun. It’s a short clip, but it touches on some key points:

  1. Stop hiding who you really are - Get focused
  2. Start being intensely selfish - Get focused
  3. Stop following the rules - Be creative
  4. Start scaring yourself - Be creative
  5. Stop taking it all so seriously - Use your wisdom
  6. Start getting rid of the crap - Use your wisdom
  7. Stop being busy - Take action
  8. Start something - Take action

The clip was put together by Michael Bungay Stanier, from Box of Crayons. He also asks the Five and three-quarter Big Question You’ve Been Avoiding.
