"You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood" - Calvin.
So true, but Graham and I do have a process that has worked for us for years. Mostly it invloves wandering. And fear. Wandering through the brief. Wandering through existential dilemmas. Wandering through conversation incredibly innapropriate for the workplace.
They say that if you're lost in the woods and you feel like you're walking in circles, you probably are. With no landmarks or signposts, you can feel like you're making progress but in reality just treading on the same path over and over. But in my experience, the reason you don't feel like you're walking in circles is that though you may see the same tree many times, you interpret it differently on each round. And the ever-present fear that you're never going to get out of the woods drives you to try even harder to get out.
Eventually all that wandering leads us out of the woods.
