Use tools in tandem to assure bigger and more sustainable success

Each tool in your personal creativity management system may not be transformative in isolation.

However, the magnitude of having hundreds of mindsets, approaches, behaviors and assets at your fingertips gives you an unprecedented source of leverage as a creator.

Because now you can combine them. You can use the connectedness of the tools to your advantage.

Think of it as the meta skill. A higher order ability that enables and empowers other skills to work in tandem. This chaining process almost becomes a tool itself.

For example, take the three skills of gasketing, solvitas perambulator and excursioning.

Gasketing, if you remember, is a daily ritual of emotional release in which you metabolize your experiences, make serious mental headway into your ideas and get the intellectual faucet flowing. Perhaps journaling is your way of achieving this release. Awesome.

What if, rather than simply journaling for twenty minutes in isolation and then going to work, your immediate next step in the prolific chain would be to use rhythmic and repetitive exercise to boost the production and release of endorphins to pump your creative well?

And don’t stop there. What if, during your walk, run, swim, whatever, you also did a bit of excursioning? Meaning, you took a short mental journey of creative fantasy to envision alternate and absurd realities for your future? After sixty to ninety minutes of integrating all three of those tools, you’d multiply their effects exponentially.

Not only would you feel physically, mentally and spiritually invigorated, but you’d likely strengthen your ultimate level of output. That’s the genius of personal creativity management. It’s a support system that’s highly generative. The more tools you combine elegantly and orchestrate with care, the more your results multiply exponentially.

There is a sense of prolific emergence. Things come alive when their elements are integrated into one another.

What’s your favorite chaining sequence? Which tools in your kit work in tandem to assure bigger and more sustainable success?

Look, single tools in isolation are never enough for long term success. If you want to take personal creativity management to the next level, then consciously try to imagine new ways to configure your assets.

Unlock greater leverage and momentum for yourself by using two, three or four tools sequentially.
