Boosting Creativity

From Newsweek:

It has a fascinating article on how to boost creativity. In summary:
1. Don't try brainstorming in a group: Group brainstorming actually reduces creative output. You will generate more ideas if you work separately.
2. Get moving: Exercise for 30 minutes and boost creativity for two hours (eh...unless you are unfit, which produces the opposite effect!).
3. Take a break: You will complete more creative projects if you switch from one to another when you get stuck.
4. Reduce TV time: Television reduces creativity in kids by 11% for every hour of TV watched. For adults it may be worse.
5. Explore other cultures: A 45-minute slide show on China increased creativity scores for a week
6. Follow a passion: Kids allowed to follow a subject they were interested in were more creative than those who were involved in lots of activities.
