Constraints: Guiding Your Creativity Towards The Best Solution

Sometimes creative people fall into the originality trap. They focus so much on originality that they lose focus on the other half of the creativity equation: effectiveness. Placing contraints on ourselves as creators is how we guide our creativity towards usefulness. They are a necessary component to great creative thinking. Your creative. Your a free thinker. You’re an artist. That’s true. But what matters is whether you can be a free thinker inside a set of constraints. When you see the problem differently than others, it only makes sense that you’d take different actions, based on different goals, and arrive at a different conclusion. Your constraints matter. How you define a problem matters.
