“I was cutting out graph paper and mapping out the schedule old school. Sliding video shoots and post-production edit sessions all around on the table on little scraps of paper. It wasn’t the best, most efficient approach to project planning. But sometimes you’ve got to go old school to get back to the basics. To remind yourself how the technology is supposed to help, not be the point.”
I have found that this is my number one way to get creative. Some of my best ideas from the past 12-14 have come when I’m not in from of my computer but instead have my journal in hand or a legal pad in a meeting or intentionally away from my workspace just to map out an idea… old school style.
If you’re not feeling creative but need to create. Grab a few friends, some paper, some markers, some tape, some scissorcs, and a room… you’ll be surprised what you come up with.
Fact: All of my best posts on this blog in the last year were originally sketched out in a notebook. Sometimes technology gets in the way.
