So I would love to have/see some discussions on HN about creativity. But I'd prefer to hear less about how some state affects creativity and more about specific creative exercises any of you might've taken. Travel makes you more creative. Learning a new language makes you more creative. Sure, but... so what, you know? Were we really sitting around thinking to ourselves, "Oh, if only somebody told me how to be more creative?" I doubt that's the case! I'm more curious to know about how/why some people manage to stick to creative exercises/practices/disciplines more so than others, and how I ought to apply that in my own work.
