Outfitting an office to maximize creativity

Add as a preferred source on Google

When we are seeking to maximize our creativity we sometimes need to look outside the box for inspirational solutions. Training the brain to be creative means we must seek out opportunities to explore new things and to briefly break away from business concerns. This is how learning a musical instrument can spark our creative ideas. Even if we have never played an instrument before, we can start at any time and at any age.

A good instrument for a beginner is a guitar. It is small and portable and can easily fit into an office space. A guitar in the office will remind us to take those much-needed breaks away from the stress of the job and refresh our brain with diversion. Since learning requires practice we can accomplish that task during our breaks and eventually become able to play very well. Having this skill can go a long way in entertaining clients and the office staff.
