What happened to the 101+ list?

Hey!

For anyone following this blog, or being lead here via Tumblr, you may be noticing my absence of content. Well, work has given me quite a lot to work on at the moment. I work for a community college, converting textbooks for disabled students, and the new term is always the busiest time for us. This week will be a short break, and things will start in full-force again next week!

In the meantime, I'd like to hear what you guys do to help inspire yourself!

Tomorrow Is Full Of Unlimited Potential

I said yesterday that you can look to the past to bring in different ideas to help yourself, but you can also look to the present to help shape your future.

Innovators are everywhere: the underground wizards of their industry who do things differently than standard, or even the big behemoths who define and redefine the standard.

Take your contemporaries and their innovative ideas and apply that to what you do.

An example? Here ya go:
Susan is a car designer. She works for a company that designs and builds high-performance vehicles. When she heard that Lexus redesigned a lot of tools and process to create their LFA, a cutting-edge supercar, she realised there are processes her company uses that are out of date and can be improved. So instead of spending a lot of time using antiquated equipment to create a car, she created new tools to do the job better allowing better perfection with each vehicle.

Ideas are literally flying all around you. Grab some and use them!

Innovators Are Those Who Go Against The Norm

Innovations in technology, business, living, or anything else is created by people who do things differently than anyone else working for the same goal. Being different is pretty key in innovating and being more creative.

If you're a filmmaker, one possibility of being different could be as simple as a comedy in the film noir style, or as extreme as creating whole new technologies (as James Cameron did for Avatar.) The ways in which you can innovate your industry are endless, so try all of them that come to mind.
