Creativity is the result of how you think. Practicing the habits of creative thinking allows you to break the barrier of what's achievable. Better freelancing skills, better clients, and the ability to get through tough situations are just a few of the things creative thinking brings.

Well, freelancers know how important the strive for creativity is. Plus we have the opportunity to create all day long.
We may sometimes be interrupted by invoicing a client or getting organized, but creative minds always find time to be creative.
Whether you're stuck in a creative rut or you want to maximize your creative thinking potential, here are the habits of creative thinkers to learn from.
Here it is.
Well said Mr. Jobs. Well said.
Creative minds don't let other's achievements affect their own creation of something remarkable. If you think you can't do something - write a novel, code a website, or make a product you believe people will need - think again. Think about the fact that everything you see right now was created by someone. Did they have some sort of superpower?
No. They were a creative thinker who practiced the habits of creative thinking truly and passionately.
Developing creativity means learning something new every day. Go to the best place to learn online to find new tutorials and articles posted daily on topics relating to your freelancing niche. Take time between working on projects and running errands to acquire a new skill. This could also mean experimenting with new techniques for the stuff you're already working on.
Here's an example for you. My friend is a photographer and has just recently starting drawing. Every day he makes sure to draw something - a sketch, a concept, a character, anything. What he told me is that the more he draws, the more interesting his art becomes. New techniques and approaches to drawing lines helps expand the creativity of his work. You know what happened next? His photography became more interesting too.
Creativity happens when you make the effort to learn or try something new every day. Pretty soon it will become a habit. Have good creative habits and your mind will be happy.
