By the way, this book " Steal Like an Artist|10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative"  is small (160 pages) and can be read in 1 to 2 hours. Copying from one person is called plagiarism,  If you copy from many people, it's research. People often replicate the work of others, stealing ideas and adding their unique touch, making it seem like their own creation. They are being creative. When you were a child, you mimicked the people around you to learn how to speak. Everybody draws inspiration from somebody. Author Austin Kleon once said, "Collect a wide variety of information about a skill and create your own variation." Engage in reverse engineering of the things you've learned. Borrow ideas, concepts, and principles. Whenever a question pops into your mind, don't hesitate to search for it (Google it). If you can't find a satisfactory answer, you'll have better questions to ask. Share your work with others for smart collaboration. Change yo...

1. If you're unable to make a decision, set a deadline for making that decision. Act on it after the deadline, and you'll gain more insights. 2. Generating at least 20 ideas before attempting to solve a problem can solve it by almost 50%. 3. Ask for a solution before going to sleep, and you may come up with the answer in a dream. Even if you wake up during the night, you might still have the solution in mind. Summary ends here but wait: Some keypoints from another book "Creative Problem Solving|An Introduction" are useful too.👇 State your problem in many ways,and select a line which is stimulating ideas.Be playful and bad.Let many ideas strange or silly or of any nature come in mind. When you have many ideas it becomes a system of individual ideas where sum is much greater than the whole.collaborate with others and check what kind of people are helpful.

Summary and keypoints of book|Your Brain at Work|Strategies for Overcoming Distraction|Regaining Focus|and Working Smarter All Day Long by David Rock We have limited energy for conscious thinking. Always prioritize prioritizing; schedule and prioritize your most important tasks when you have high energy because solving a problem consumes a lot of energy. Collaborate with others to save your energy. Thinking about the image of something you have not seen is difficult. That's why, instead of a solution, people focus on the problem because picturing problems is easy. This is also why people cannot determine goals because the future is invisible. Do your important tasks in the morning. Convert the important tasks into habits; let them run on autopilot. Improve your condition a little bit. In fact, the aim here is to become better than yesterday. So here we go: We can't hold more than one idea in mind, just like we can't do more than one task at a time. Put your phone away from ...

  Author Joshua Foer met a man at a memory championship who could remember 50 thousand digits of pi. So, Joshua became interested in the science of memorization. Socrates said: "Writing destroys memory." How? The brain remembers things easily when they are repetitive. Before the invention of writing, people memorized things to transfer them to others. You notice when you are trying to remember something, but it doesn't show up in consciousness. Somehow, when you go to a place, listen to music, or smell something, you exactly remember the forgotten thing. Memory is associated with that thing, and memory works this way. For example, if you want to learn to type faster, type 10 or 20% faster than your current speed so that you make mistakes, and then you can identify what is slowing you down. There is no limit to speed; you can go above and beyond the sky. Create a "memory palace." It can be a series of vivid or sexual images where you place all the things that nee...

"Flow" is a state of activity in which people become so engrossed that they do it solely for enjoyment, and they don't think about anything else; they forget about the concept of time.flow occurs when someone tries to beat his own record. You enter a flow state when there is no chance of failure in your work. To achieve a flow state, do only what you are good at doing. Aristotle said that happiness can only be achieved if there is something left to learn, and this world is made in a way that there is always something to learn. Why do we always want more free time for ourselves even when we are already free? It's because we do not work in a "flow state." Your flow state is hidden in your teenage years (worry-free days). What did you do most during those days? I bet most people played video games or sports.

"The first step in learning is to research and draw a map of "what resources are available." Spend 10% of your total learning time to research every time you start learning something. Ultra learning can be described in a single word: "intensity." Scott Young learned four different languages in four different countries - Spain, Brazil, Korea, and China - in 12 months, spending three months in each country. He did not speak a single word in English, not even with his friend who was traveling with him, and not during phone calls. The ultra-learning phase is different from other methods due to its intensity and self-directed nature. Before starting or even during the learning process, you can spend 10% of your time researching resources to identify those that are concise and to the point. Learn something by doing it, by solving real-life problems. Learn directly from the source. Learning something new boosts your confidence because now you know you can do something...

  "1/3 of our day and life is spent in sleep. You can see a dream only when you wake up straight from the dream. Seeing a dream feels real because they are actually real; we see them without any help from our sensory organs. Our longest period of REM sleep is just before awakening (approximately two hours before). This exciting, vivid, and delightful dream has a lot of memories from our past, and hence, it wakes us up in good feelings. The human brain is at the peak of creativity while dreaming. Our brain, while dreaming, tries to know what the purpose of a particular memory is in the form of a dream. The more you dream, the more you know your personality and habits. Dreams help us become a new person according to our own needs. Dreams even help us in dealing with life-threatening situations. Dreams help us in making memories and connections among different things. Dreams assure us that we can solve these life-threatening situations. We dream about our emotions. In a dream, our lo...
