Be a Better Designer: A Step by Step Guide

Recently, I've had a revelation. A rediscovering if you will. If you want to get inspired, fuel your creative fire, here's what you should do:

  1. Turn off your computer.
  2. Put down your phone. (I know, it's hard)
  3. Go outside.
  4. Take a walk. If possible, somewhere there are a lot of trees.
  5. Talk to Someone (yes, in person) who does something other than design.

Getting out of our bubble is key to recharging inspiration. There are numerous studies that support the benefits of taking walks. If you haven't tried it already, well duh, you know what to do.
