Growth Mindset: Reading about Creativity

These notes are based off of this article: "How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut" 

• The article starts off by talking about being new at work! You start observing and questioning things that you see (a sign of creativity)
• What changes? Do people just get used to things and tired of them? 
• When you get bored, you get less creative! I get that haha
• From these questions, I am for sure in a creative rut! 
• For sure at work! Nothing that the workers do seems to matter. But the job itself is boring and uncreative (serving tables lol)
• They mention trying something new. When I started bartending, I loved it! It was a challenge! But then, it just got old. Making drinks, taking orders, blah.
• There is no "you" in the job, only transactions--very true!
• It's sad to feel this way, but most non-degree jobs just don't value creativity. They want you get your job done and leave. No complaining, no fun, just mindless work. It really sucks haha. That's why I can't wait to start teaching! It's a job that actually needs creativity. You need to create lessons, make sure they go over well, etc. Plus you get to see your hardwork in action. 
• I wish this article focused more on outside of work creativity. After spending all day working/eating/sleeping, it feels like there's not enough time to create. How do you find inspiration? 
• Until then, I'll just have to settle for being creative outside of work! Through storytelling and my other school work!
