Glossy Rut-Buster

From Worthwhile - by Kate Yandoh

"Even though the magazine addict in me perked up with glee after reading this tip from Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind, I hadn't put it into action until just now. It's simple. Go pick up five magazines that you've never heard of in areas you've never chosen to read about. Flip through at will, maybe tear out some images or articles that speak to you in some way, then watch for breakthroughs.

Wow. Courtesy of Aquarium USA, Sing Out! Folk Music, Grassroots Motorsports, Modern Drummer, and Wooden Boat, some new thoughts about a web project, seeds for a future blog postings, a few new words and who knows what else are mine. Even if you're not wrestling with a particular form of block or working on a project, spending just an hour doing this can make some creative connections and furnish a very economical - and portable- brain break."
