Personal Creativity Journal: The journal summary is a culmination of reflection on your personal creativity- how will you be a more creative person at work or in your personal life? As defined in lecture 1 "What & Why of Innovation", this journal should answer the question: what creates the conditions for you to "come up with new and useful ideas"? What inspires you, what work environment inspires you, how do you get in a creative mindset (taking walks, exercising, etc.) The journal should demonstrate deep, honest reflection and form a continuous diary of your growing understanding of creativity related to you personally. Think of this journal resulting in a "recipe book" for you to access in the future whenever you face a problem and need creative ideas. A minimum of 5 dated, quality, entries (1 per week for the first 5 weeks of the quarter), 12pt type.
Each entry can include thoughts such as: how you will apply what you're learning to improve/drive your personal creativity, what inspires you, what do you need to feel or be more creative, when are you at your most creative, how will you overcome your fear of risk or failure for trying new things, what new ideas are coming up for you with respect to where you want to take your personal or professional life, etc.?
Entry length should be a minimum of ½ page, 12pt., However, this is your reflection, so write a length that you find helpful to reflect and articulate your increased understanding of how you will or are improving your creativity personally, at work or both.
