A great idea pops up in your mind while driving. By the time you reached home and turned on your computer, you forgot what it was. You break your head staring at the black computer screen but the idea has long vanished fro your mind.

Get up and have a cup of coffee. Nothing. Check email. Check Facebook. Resist temptation to play online games. Read other people’s Facebook pages. Got to write something. HELP!

Here are five quick tips for getting yourself unwind:

Take notes : You must have noticed that ideas come out from nowhere and in all probability at the most inopportune times. Likewise creativity and innovation can not be planned. It is better to stay alert and capture them when they occur, rather than straining to recreate them latter.

Try free-writing : This technique is designed to stimulate ideas into your mind, to get something flowing, even if it makes no sense. Just keep writing anything. Soon your brain will be free from vague ideas and some ideas that make sense will come to the  surface.

Draw a mind map: We all know what mind-mapping is. In simple words, it is an outline in picture form. It helps you stretch your imagination, stay organized and ready to write.

Play with your dog: However ridiculous it appears and hard to believe, but this can distress you instantly. You are not writing when you think you should be writing  creates stress which hinders with the flow of creativity. This causes even more stress and the beat goes on. Playing with your pets will bring down the stress level.

Give thanks: When your mind is devoid of ideas and you do not know what to write, you get anxious and cranky. It appears to you that whole universe is conspiring against you in that case instead of cursing anybody thank god for everything he has given you. Expressing gratitude produces a positive energy flow that helps you recognize your real you. In that state of mind whatever you pen down becomes immortal.
