That is so true! I was working on a project and stuck in solving a problem for days. Suddenly I decided to focus my mind on something completely different, even something in which I'm not interested! So I got out and went to a poet's kind of meeting. During two hours I tried so hard to understand what they were saying or talking about which was a complete failure to me! Then when I came back home and sat in front of my computer to resume my project, guess what? All the answers I needed for solving the problems came up in an instant moment! Magical, right! And this is what I've learned! When you're mind is stuck in something, concentrate on something different, free your mind from it and give it some space. It will work!
It’s a very privileged place to preach from, eh? The concept of workday downtime is alien to most of us. I often wish that Simon could refocus away from elite business and into worlds such as education and local government.
first of all, thanks to Simon for the inspirational sharing. noticed the comments about the interviewer, personally I actually enjoy interviewing brilliant folks like Simon. To avoid the situation she's facing in this session, there's few ways to prepare for a good interview session. One is to communicate with the interviewee before the event, on the core message that he wants to share over that particular occasion, and we as interviewer can make preparation around that point of focus. Another area we can prepare is to communicate with event organizer and get a grasp of what kind of audience would be attending, and what's their expectations, that provides another layer of preparation. With someone like Simon, its best not to get in his way while he's doing the talking, but instead, when he's pausing to begin a new sentence, interviewer can take that opportunity to briefly summarise what's just been said, to help audience to refresh their memory 😊
That explains a lot... I used to be super creative and eventually, when I moved in my own apartment, I started spending more and more time on the net, then I started getting more and more tensed the more I took my freetime to browse the web over and over.... Thanks! :)
Finally! Someone saying what I've been trying to tell people in my life for years! Anyone who is creative, who writes, already knew this. Where the phrase, "sleep on it" came from, too. I do my most creative thinking when I'm idle (yeah, sometimes in the shower, sometimes doing dishes). Einstein was a practitioner of just sitting and thinking. The best literature on the planet was not written after work. It was the only thing. Ask Stephen King how many of his novels would exist in their current form if he still had to teach to pay the bills?
Freakin yea! For me in my limited experience with music composition, I have found that music composition is the composing of silence, the arrangement of silence.
Excellent video and ideas, I hope people are going to break free of the digital chocolate that their phone is providing. During brainstorming people can generate ideas that they would never have just by thinking on their own. I love your videos. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We live strangers until we meet those who are able to inspire our creativity.. Those who share our values WELL SAID AS USUAL SIR 💐 BTW Merry Christmas 🙏
Nimitz played tennis, Marshall rode horses… look into Blackett’s time in the Cavendish per Stephen Budiansky’s book. Sid Meier wrote of being creative on vacation.
OMG! That is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true
Fast for a couple of days. Realize nothing matters and see how your actions shape your life. Things happen when you give up and unlearn everything to understand.
Please get rid of the ending song for these short clips. It, to me, is insufferable. Really though, you're doing great work! I'm loving every word that you say. I'm not a fan of capitalism in general, and going backward isn't necessarily a way to progress, but you're definitely on to SOMETHING. Keep it up! ^-^
So for me it’s not that I don’t trust my employees it’s that I have to check my phone because I can’t take one day and not have them call me and say what do I do here?, How do I do this? I have been working for years now to make processes so easy that anyone can do it specifically to stop this from happening but there is a lot more work that needs to be done.
i liked the the video but i found some thing is she flirting Simon!!! sorry for that her eyes are expressive in such a way.some of the behavior physiologist know what i said.thank you
@@scotttovey it says creativity is not in demand. When it is absolutely essential. It should say something like. One secret to unlocking your creativity. I like his content though.
@@victorsykes5334 You misread that. It says: "Creativity is NOT ON-DEMAND" which is true. It is very rare to be able to just turn creativity on and is near impossible to do so when someone is demanding it of you in a last minute scenario. Such situations actually tend to turn creativity off because of the unwarranted stress the individual is putting on you which is often followed by you getting angry and the idiot.
@@victorsykes5334 That's nothing. I once walked past a sign, read it and after three or four steps thought:that makes absolutely no sense at all. I went back and reread the sign and realized that I had put a completely unrelated word in place of another. I didn't replace a letter, I replaced a whole word. Yeah, those quick read glances can give you some really strange messages. 😏
“Our subconscious brains have access to the equivalent of 11 acres of information. The value of the brainstorming is not to solve the problem, it’s to ask the question.” I look forward to the day that Simon and his team learns how to do Shamanic Vision Journey meditation. It takes what he just said to a whole new level! 😍👍🎉
If I could click on a “fricken” kickas@ symbol I would! I wish I could start my career all over again as a creative designer (coulda,woulda,shoulda) They need to teach these ideas to art and design students, who are taught to design and create, but not their careers and lives. How many middle aged or Seniors does one see in the design world? Not many....
Our God given imaginations are a tool of constant evaluation and incubation that lead to creation. Feed your mind with prayer and His Word, and live a renewed life. We're all walking each other Home. Have a great day!
Summary: 1. Schedule your personal Time. Be respectful of things that matter too you. It’s your time! Take control of it. Don’t let anyone else fill it with bullsh*t. 2. Ideas don’t happen so random that you think. 3. Subconscious brain- gut decisions. 4. Ask the question to yourself and let the brain work on it over a longer period of time. 5. You need to sit down and meet each other. Talk together and find real solutions. 6. All people you meet are potential friends. 7. Search for good conversations where ideas happen
I wish as a factory worker, blue collar to you Americans, that I could do that. Sorry boss, it's not happening... I'm doing something for me, you NOT included.

Doing other things could actually find answers which you wouldn't think would be relevant. Archimedes eureka moment when he took a bath.
I know what you mean! Actually, me best ideas came to me when I'm in the shower. XD
I love Sinek for what he do. I think it's crazy that he has to tell us to take personal time and let our brains do it's natural job

YES doing nothing is sometimes actually doing so much!!

So glad I do it for 24 hours then
Fantastic Simon, as usual.
Cheers.
Awesome, evertime I listen to him, it touches me deep inside. Incredible speaker.

Tha ks for sharing, useful👍🏻
I love Simon and so does the interviewer. She looks at him like she wants to sit on his face...
Maybe she did
He's superb! Noticing this wonderful person I learn - work on yourself and everyone will start noticing

2:32 Beautiful. "Music is not in the notes, but in the silence in between". Wonder.
Amazing, I was thinking the same thing during this! I heard Sting once,say that music is just silence surrounded by bits of sound.
Freakin yea!
For me in my limited experience with music composition, I have found that music composition is the composing of silence, the arrangement of silence.
Completely simple and organised ideas.
Thanks for sharing.
Spot on!
Hilarious!!! "I can watch a movie" saw this story exactly the right time. Just averted a meltdown. Thankyou for sharing 😃
Thanks😌💓
exactly as I expect, thank's mister simon for the advices, really you are the best of the best .
Excellent video and ideas, I hope people are going to break free of the digital chocolate that their phone is providing. During brainstorming people can generate ideas that they would never have just by thinking on their own. I love your videos. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
True, true,true.
The idea is great but Those SNAPS are even greater 😁
Much love
Love From Saginaw MI
Indeed, it's the best thing in the world
I think Simon is a Messiah...:)
i loved this video!
We live strangers until we meet those who are able to inspire our creativity.. Those who share our values WELL SAID AS USUAL SIR 💐 BTW Merry Christmas 🙏
Merry Christmas Simon 🎅🎅🎄🎄😁😁
love simon
the interviewer interrupts at times but that's fine :D
awsome conversation
I do the same thing. When I got sick no one asked how I was.
Matchless
Powerful...🙏
This also ties to your other point with efficiency versus innovation.
Doing nothing on a regular basis is something I can achieve
Then you will achieve nothing
A noble goal my friend. A noble goal.
Idol!

Hi!
In the public bus, they will probaply always start to fullfill to "superposition". - And it will change as the bus will fullfill.

OMG! That is soooooo true. And I guess that's the reason why I don't have enough friends I can spend time with. :( I need to be less time in my phone.
OMG! That is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true

Fast for a couple of days. Realize nothing matters and see how your actions shape your life. Things happen when you give up and unlearn everything to understand.
this reminds me of Joe Rogan and Lean Remini interview
Give time to your creativity@
Good to leave phone during brain storming ; sometimes however the chair person wants to have the results right after the meeting:(
I agree with the shower part, only if you have a question though. Out of the shower identify the questions.
I like this conversation because there are in themselves not in a conversation, image being like this guys, living your words to reality
It still stuns me how Simon could say that he isn't smart.
She is undressing him with her eyes.
It's distracting him.
Not the best interviewer lol
She is droooooooling...omg
The full interview? Where?
Jessica Marie Baumgartner I have read all of his books
@Jessica Marie Baumgartner where, in which book, did he mention that meters thing? I need a source for my trainee.
I purposely leave my phone in the car when I'm out.
She looks like she wants to eat him. 😳
hahahaha
Not her fault. He is amazing!!😁
recognize this as well and was going through the comments to see, if I was the only one haahaha

The lady would definitely jump on him if they were alone lmao

Come On!!! Every lady wants to flirt with Simone. Don't you think so?! They can't help it!!! :)
She totally is.
Respect the man! The thumbnail is BS though.
How is the thumbnail BS?

Imagine having a job where you could arbitrarily block out thee hours on the offchance I might come up with something. His colleagues must love that!

Fking inspiring. Im gonna stop using phone while walking and minimize games in my phone

whats her name
Wonderful....Question?? » Brainstorming@
She is so into him it's hard to watch
Lol
What does this have to do with creativity is not on demand....
I appreciate the reasoning behind the close proximity but its a tiny bit distractive...
I wish the interviewer would just be quiet and let him talk. Jeez!
I wish as a factory worker, blue collar to you Americans, that I could do that. Sorry boss, it's not happening... I'm doing something for me, you NOT included.
Am I the only one finding the distance with interviewer is irritating? She leans too close towards Simon.
Mind is silly, for a while I thought the lady is dating Simon sinek
She is a horrible interviewer
Susan Reed totally!!!
Best way to flirt a lady!
I wonder what his wife is thinking...
She still needs to learn how to conduct an interview.
I can see that she's struggling to keep up, it could be that she's overwhelmed, or she didn't do enough preparation beforehand
Agree. She needs to work on body language and manners. May be that us how she does her job usually.
That interviewer is terrible. Just be quiet and let him do his think.
Why she's doing this👀🤤 Infront of camera and audience ?
This is all assuming you are a CEO at a company.
His explanation of how the brain works, is way off
I shouldnt be watching this video right now
stop interrupting the man dammit
