Organizing Creativity: How to generate, capture, collect, and realize ideas to improve individual creativity. - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Creativity, deliberately creating something that is new and useful, is more than just one idea. Whether in art, science, or for private creative projects, a good idea needs countless other ideas. An idea for a plot needs ideas for characters, settings, and dialogues, an idea for a study needs ideas for dependent variables, instructions, and materials. And even private projects need to be fleshed out. To deal with these ideas and to actually realize the projects, creativity needs an unlikely ally -- organization. In this book, we look at creativity, organization, ways to organize creativity by mastering the topic, generating ideas, capturing ideas, collecting ideas, realizing and archiving creative projects, and at tools, general tips, and resources. This book aims to enlarge your options when working in science (incl. engineering and commercial projects), art, or on private projects, to improve the chance of realizing creative projects. The focus is on creating the infrastructure for having ideas and realizing them.

About the Author
I have been very interested in organization and creativity for a long time. Nearly all my life I have worked on private creative projects parallel to the job I was doing (e.g. visiting school, the university, or post-graduate studies). I have written stories, created and bound books, build objects like a dreamcatcher or a chocolate piano, created a 2500+ pages book of quotations and pictures, made postcards, wrote programs, sewn equipment like a PDA arm holder, made different sorts of calendars, and much, much more. During my studies of psychology I learned something about organization, as a topic in organizational psychology and by experience when trying to cope with the amount of information to learn. Working with the computer since sixth grade and having different office jobs also contributed to my experience in organizing information. When the MinD-Hochschul-Netzwerk (MHN, Mensa in Deutschland University Network] held an academy about creativity, I joined both topics and made a presentation about "organizing creativity". To prepare for the presentation, I conducted a survey how the members of MHN and Mensa organized their creativity. Since few consciously did, I decided to write a book about it.
