(EstateNewsWire.com, January 04, 2013 ) Goshen, MA – Where do you do your best work? If you’re not sure how to answer that question, chances are you need modifications in your home and office, says the author of a new book on the creative process, Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work (http://www.yudkin.com/inspired.htm ).
“What makes for a creative work environment is going to be quite different for you, me and the fellow down the hall,” says Yudkin, a noted marketing mentor and the author of 16 previous books. “Some people need lots of hubbub and activity, while others need quiet and solitude. Some people need the colors, light and view to be just right while others need as visually neutral a scene as possible. Individual differences are a hallmark of personal productivity.”
Factors to consider, Yudkin notes, include air temperature, clutter, humidity, privacy, smells, textures, spaciousness and whether a workspace is always the same or variable. Other tips on developing a more creative environment include:
* Explore your past. Think back to your most productive times or places, and recall what your environment was like then.
* Look for evidence in your present. Inventory what’s true about the area where you work now, especially aspects that you’re not aware of having deliberately set up. “Suspend your judgments about these hints from past and present,” Yudkin says. “When you judge yourself for something that you need but others don’t, it just gets in the way of your creative process.”
* Try out new options with an inquisitive spirit. Get input from others and see how well possible solutions work for you.
* Don’t use less-than-ideal conditions as excuses. Too often, complaints about a workspace become an element of self-sabotage. “Yes, maybe you’d get loads more done with a standing desk, but you can also stand up on your own more now without it,” Yudkin comments.
Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work provides research, stories from the history of science and invention, suggestions and up-to-the-minute techniques for improvements in creativity, problem solving, idea generation, motivation and time management. The book is available in paperback for $19.95 at Amazon.com or BN.com and for $9.99 in Amazon’s Kindle store or Barnes & Noble’s Nook store.
