creativity exercise 1

 The Thirty Circles exercise is a rapid-fire creativity booster. You’re given 30 empty circles and a time limit to fill each circle with a recognizable object. 

I set a 3-minute timer and began filling circles with familiar things I could think of.  I can use this exercise going forward by doing 3 minutes of thirty circles before writing or design work to create some ideas, even though most won't be used. And it would be a great technique to use in group exercises. 

The Thirty Circles exercise is a practical tool. By embracing speed and creative thinking, it recalibrates how we approach creativity. Inspired by sound frameworks like Mamuw’s Creative Boot Camp, it shows that boosting idea generation can be simple and fun. I did as much as I could think of in the 3 minutes.
