Atomic Habits author James Clear shares his five-step approach to the creative process in a recent edition of his 3-2-1 newsletter.
The creative process
- Discover – Read a lot. Observe the world. Notice.
- Collect – Immediately record anything that strikes you.
- Generate – Build on your notes to brainstorm lots of ideas.
- Combine – Connect previously unconnected ideas.
- Refine – Edit, edit, edit. Select the best.
