Creativity Through Constraints

What kind of concert would you put on if you only had three days to plan it?

What kind of play would you write if you weren't allowed to use words?

What kind of visual art would you create if you were only allowed to use whatever happens to be in your living room today?

What would you cook if you could only use items that begin with the letters A through M?

"Constraints" and "limits" aren't words we associate with creativity.

But as you can see from these questions, setting constraints makes your brain to immediately think outside the box. Surely, your imagination started to race after reading at least one of them.

Right?

Set a constraint. See what happens.

You might discover something special.
