五招助你拥有创新思维

Most of us will have days or weeks when we can’t make as much stuff as we’d like. Things get busy, we have jobs, families and lives which means occasionally you’ll be out of time to sit down and make art. There are some simple tips you can try to maximize the thinking, mulling, and considering time that can help fuel your creative work. I think time allotted for musing and pondering is highly underrated, and the tips below go some of the way in allowing for more time these moments.
总有那么些日子我们无法完成预期的任务。事情越来越多，工作越来越累，里里外外忙忙碌碌，艺术创作也越发变得艰难。我来给你支几招，教你如何优化时间管理，进行思索、斟酌与考虑，从而强化创新思维。我们用于揣摩与深思的时间严重匮乏，希望下列小贴士对你进行时间规划有所帮助。

1. Read before you fall asleep
1. 睡前阅读

This is a classic subconscious-employing trick, used a lot for when you really need to study and remember material. If you want to think more about your artwork (or anything), read about it just before you fall asleep. Studies show that your brain remembers more and thinks subconsciously about the information you process just before going into REM sleep. You might even dream about what you read, were thinking about or were doing just before sleep. If you’re reading a book on creativity you really want to digest, this is a great strategy to help recall and your own creative process.
这一调动潜意识的传统方法多用于资料的学习与记忆。若要深入思考艺术创作（或者任何事情），那么就在睡前进行阅读吧。研究表明，人类大脑在进入快速眼球运动睡眠(Rapid Eye Movement)之前，对所要处理的信息消化吸收得最快。你在睡前所读、所想、所做的事情甚至可能出现在梦境中。假如你希望通透理解书本内容，那么睡前阅读便是温故知新的好方法。

2. Take notes whenever ideas come
2、记录闪现的灵光

Take notes. Lots of notes. No matter what time of day (or night). Give keeping a notepad and pen beside your bed, and always carry one in your handbag or pocket. Don’t be afraid to take notes in public, in elevators, or anywhere the inspiration strikes. Some strategies you could try are making lists of future or potential artwork or doing lose free-form sketches of half-baked ideas for new works. Taking notes can be valuable in their offhanded, indiscriminate format — sometimes they’re not important or playful, and sometimes they can be tiny seeds of gold.
一旦灵光闪现，无论白天黑夜，赶紧记录下来。床边常备纸与笔，拎包与口袋里也务必备有本子。别羞于在大庭广众下做记录，无论是在电梯里还是任何灵感出现的地方。可供尝试的方法包括将计划或可能进行的创作以及新作品的大概轮廓或大致思路列成清单。即便是当下随意记录的内容，其价值也不容忽视——有时看来用处不大的内容，在另一些时刻则大有燎原之势。
