Escape the Scroll: A Simple Trick to Unleash Your Creativity

Overcome Creative Blocks: A Simple Pen-and-Paper Technique Feeling stuck in a creative rut? Many people find themselves endlessly scrolling through social media, hoping for inspiration to strike. But according to a recent TikTok video by Iz | Corporate Agony Aunt, this approach may be counterproductive. Iz, a career advisor, shares her personal technique for breaking through creative blocks. "If you’re stuck in a rut, get off your phone," she advises. Instead, she suggests grabbing a notebook and pen. She explains her process: "I get a book notepad and I write 'brick wall' in the middle of it, and around the brick wall I write all of the channels for creativity, creation, content, money, and income." She then stares at this visual representation until ideas begin to flow. This simple yet powerful method highlights the limitations of passive digital consumption. As Iz points out, "those saves in your TikTok are in vain, because how often do you actually watch your saves back?" She argues that actively engaging with the problem in a physical space fosters deeper thought and leads to more effective solutions. Iz's straightforward approach offers a refreshing alternative to the endless scroll, reminding us that sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. This technique offers a practical and accessible solution for anyone facing creative roadblocks, encouraging a more mindful and productive approach to problem-solving.
