How to be more creative?

Is creativity innate or can you learn to be more creative. I believe the first step in trying to be more creative is to do it more and learn some creative techniques.

The first thing to do is notice when someone or something is creative and ask:

• What makes this creative?
• What formula underlies it?
• What similar ideas can come from it?
• How can you apply the formula to create something new?
• When are you most creative?
• Where do you get more creative?

So recently I said the expression "Wake up and smell the roses" to my phone but it recorded "Wake up and smell the rose" which is the wine from red and white grapes. So I thought what other phrases could I come up with using this base expression.  Here are some:

• Wake up and smell the motive
• Wake up before you take too many doses
• Wake up and smell the Moses 
• Wake up before it decomposes
• Wake up or we might transpose this
• Wake up before he outgrows this
• Wake up and get into ketosis - for a diet book
• Wake up and learn the poses - for a bodybuilding book
• Wake up and learn the closes - for a sales book
• Wake up and smell the ocean
• Wake up and smell the lotion
• Wake up and smell the robot

So next time you hear a popular saying see how you can change one or a few words.

I see a "Just Do It" shirt the other day and thought what ideas could I generate from it:

• Change one word (Just <verb> it)
• Just worn it
