Do something creative every day

I’ve been trying to remember to make a conscious effort to do something creative every day. It is easy to lose sight of the goal among the work demands and bad habits. I haven’t always been successful, but being cognizant of the goal is a positive step towards achievieving the goal. At least today I wrote a little haiku about it… :) db

One of my hobbies is stationery design for things like party invitations, post cards, etc. Today I began work on the announcement for my company’s holiday party next month, so far I like the way it’s turning out. So, that’s my creative thing for the day. db

I wrote a haiku, posted on the “write haiku on Fridays” page.

I started learning about my new instrument today, how to handle it properly, how to tune it. That might not be exactly creative, but its a big step toward a very creative goal of musicianship, so I will consider that my creative thing for today.

I did something creative today, joined the haiku friday list, and added a (wednesday) poem—

Haiku, such a fine
way to accomplish my goal:
creativity

I’m moving this goal to the top of my list because I’ve been neglecting it, but nonetheless I think it is so important. Many of my other goals are tied to it, and if I can make progress towards those goals I’ll be accomplishing this one. If I can draw a little every day, or practice a musical instrument, or expand my thoughts with a new language I’ll be relying on and nurturing my creative side. What I need to remember is to act, not just ponder. DB
