Make Time For Creativity
Schedule a few hours to work on a project away from the office. Shut off the phones; don't answer email; turn off your pager. Tell your administrative assistant, your staff, and your colleagues that you have an important meeting outside the office, and you'll be back in three hours. Take your laptop or your notebook or your sketchbook, sit in a place where you feel comfortable, and write your presentation, design your brochure, write out your process plan-whatever your big project is that needs attention.
