  1. Jose Baladaia, @jabaldaia on Twitter, was the guest moderator for the Dec. 10th chat. More here: http://blogbrevity.posterous.com/on-the-good-habit-of-being-creative-ideachat
  2. Q1 Do you have a habit for creativity?
  3. @Silvija Krebs When an idea lights up, I must draw it, then follow thru with thumbnails of whatever starts to flood into my mind #ideachat
  4. @Jabaldaia I have a recent habit ... I plant fruits, vegetables, flowers, and daily for about 2 hours, observe their growth ... #ideachat
  5. A1 I always demand alternatives to options that are proposed. Always with me Moleskine or Onenote #ideachat
  6. .@jabaldaia A1 Creative habit -I like to begin with a slow walk and bring a notebook with me to save ideas! #ideachat
  7. @syamant i dont mind when i wake up at 3 am in the morning to map out a plan that came to me through the power of tv infomercials #ideachat
  8. @mbhahn yes the habit of writing them or recording them. Is noting down an idea sometimes limiting? #ideachat
  9. I'll write down my thoughts and ideas in a notebook. I'll give some time 4 reflection & then see if the ideas are practical . #ideachat
  10. A1 My habit for creativity is writing on my hand ;-) AND Evernote mainly @Jabaldaia #ideachat
  11. q1. No habit per se but then I don't seek creativity either. Just ideas that inspire me and I can work on. #ideachat @Jabaldaia
  12. G8 2 have others join The Artist Way: Morning Pages=http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-Julia-Cameron/dp/1585421472@blogbrevity #ideachat
  13. #ideachat A1. no rituals but habits.. listening to music in the car on my way to work, allowing for thoughts to wander..
  14. Q2. What makes a habit "good" versus "bad"?
  15. Habits that foster learning are good; on the other hand habits that result in negative behavior pattern are bad 2/2 #ideachat
  16. Generally good to have a goal when setting habits as that frames how the behavior patterns will be structured and repeated #ideachat
  17. A2: A good habit is one that brings positive outcome, action. #ideachat
  18. #ideachat I disagree about outcomes or wasting time. Both perceptions. E.g is taking a walk an outcome? Is being on Twitter wasting time?
  19. @ThinDifference Not necessarily. Goals just helps you form the space in which you want to exert your creativity #ideachat
  20. @nedkumar Don't agree. Sometimes failure (a "bad" outcome) leads to my best results. Be a shame to lose the habit that lead to it. #ideachat
  21. Good vs bad habits? The answers rests in whether or not we achieved our desired outcome. #ideachat
