JUST DO IT BY SAIDI WADESISI
In what ways am I working to make creativity a more ubiquitous part of life? That is definitely a question
I have been trying to answer since the start of the semester. Prior to this semester, I have never really
thought of doing anything creative on demand nor have I considered myself a creative person to begin
with. Nonetheless, I do consider myself solution-oriented, meaning I often think of how I can make
certain aspects of my environment more efficient, and when presented with a situation, I tend to be pretty
consistent in coming up with an effective solution. But I have never been able to present creative
solutions on demand, the majority of the time my ideas or solutions come to me when I least expect them.
To improve my creativity, I have decided that I would start documenting my creative moments. I often
think of a solution or an idea on how to make an aspect of my life a little more efficient, such as strategy
on how to remember to eat breakfast in the morning, or how to reduce my electricity bill for my
apartment, or how to improve my study habits, etc. I have decided that no matter what I am doing, I will
take the moment to write these ideas down and maybe then, I will start to see a trend that helps me believe
I really am creative.
