CREATIVE EXCUSES
Exercise: Rules are meant to be broken, especially when it comes to creativity. Come up with three believable, airtight and unusual excuses for each given situation.
Why: Sometimes creative performance and dishonest behavior run a parallel track. That’s not to say that creative people are immoral when they take this approach, it’s more that sometimes being creative involves explorations out of what we deem acceptable “truths." This exercise simulates a task that people confront in real life - fabricating excuses - not because they’re malicious or greedy, but because they’re avoiding punishment or shame. You can harness the creative abilities needed to do this well for artistic purposes, and the process builds focused creativity.
Enhances Creative Focus which includes deep thinking, focus, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving.
Example:
An excuse when forgetting your wife’s birthday.
How do you expect me to remember your birthday when you never look any older?
