Walking is so important to creativity. I take a 1 hour walk whenever I'm stuck on an animation, and when I return it's so much easier to solve whatever was giving me trouble.
So true. How many great ideas or inventions came on a whim. Without deep focus. As a musician I can get a different satisfaction from improvising (jamming) as opposed to a structured song. Love Brain Craft. Thank you Nessy.
This is really inspiring, especially for one with Attentiom Deficit Hyperactiver Disorder! I like hearing things similar to this, that our disorder isn't all that bad... Things like this make my day, thank-you!
So that's why I always get ideas when riding the train/bus and when taking a shower. I love imagining stuff during those times, nothing else to do but just day-dream and sometimes come up with stupidly weird ideas.
I have ADD. Im 17 years old now, and i noticed through the years how my ADD improved more and more (lessening of symptoms) I remember that when i was younger i used to be extremely creative. I battled mild depression for a year when i was between the age of 15 1/2 and 16 1/2 and used meditation as a strategy to kill the depression which luckily really worked for me. Only one thing that i've noticed nowadays that's really changed about me is my ADD side or as you can call it: my creative side. It's kinda gone, which really sucks. Meditation has improved my focus a lot, which is nice i guess, but the problem is that i planned on doing a creative job (Filmmaker) since i'm so used to be familiar with me being creative. I love being focused through the day though cause it keeps my jokes on point, it gives me clarity and makes me feel more confident in general but i also wanna regain my creativity. So i'm kind of in a dillema right now. Like wtf am i supposed to do. Isn't there a way i can get both? Stay focused but also regain my creativity and my ability to create ideas like a madman. I get that clarity and ideas popping up are probably opposites of each other so i feel like i gotta chose between one. Anyone have any tips?
I think some particularly creative people owe their gifts to a some minor episodes of schizophrenia and attention deficit that loose their associative links sufficiently to enhance their creativity but not enough to make them mentally ill.
this video seems to only focus one one tiny aspect of the creative process and yes thinking about other things is important in finding a solution but so is being dedicated and putting in the hours. Maybe a series of videos on the different stages of the creative process would have put things into better perspective.
You're so awesome pleas keep on making videos , you're definitely gonna be one of the major science channels out there like vsaus and ASAP science ...thanks a lot :)
I can't understand what she said at 0:15. The composers name is??? Gurter? does anyone know? I would like to become familiar with this composer. Any help would be appreciated.
Energy is not destroyed. It is transformed. Creativity is a type of energy. You can find out that somebody who is physically challenged may be more creative than someone without a physical challenge.
Love your work. These are always really interesting and i try to employ most knowledge you give me directly into my life some way or another. It keeps life interesting.
I went 'crazy' but believed i unlocked more of my brain. I got kicked out of my parents house and ended up moving in my friends house, but i was always making beats and recording vocals. I rarely had a good meal, barely ever slept, and i guess constant studio quality frequencies blasting away at my head all the time triggered something amazing. I was always talking to myself outloud, sometimes getting really loud like as if i was pushing myself as my own coach because i would doubt myself and didnt want to worry about food, or anything else, but just dedicated to improving my music. I would yell to myself sometimes like "wtf is wrong with you?? Why tf are you feeling down? I forgot i was fucking 'Merc', im wallin yo" Haha, shit like that. My producer name is J-Merc and i would also tell myself i have a town to put on. Like "I gotta do this shit for the 609, i gotta put this shit up on the mutha fuckin map", 609 is obviously the area code on phone numbers from here. I was always isolated too, obviously because other people wouldve thought i was crazy and have lost my mind, thus bringing me to the hospital earlier than i ended up going. But it was like i could read peoples minds too, i knew what people where thinking and i knew their exact mood just from a glance. I would distract myself by asking myself questions about the universe because i always had been interested in how it works and what else is out there, meditating, push ups, etc. But i believe that something else would give me answers and that i was talking to another entity. Like a kid has an imaginary friend, i had one that was the best most "craziest" version of me telling searching for these answers for me. I want to find him again.. =(
So is that why I write better while listening to music? To be honest, I get almost nothing done because I'm too busy trying to sing along (horridly) to the music C:
i was like "pleeeaasse mention adhd, pleasse mention adhd...... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS" hahahah i didn't focus that much afterwards ahah😂 we had to be good at something🙃
I don't agree with this at all. Distraction is the worst thing you can do to be creative. When Dickens walked and Mozart got in a carriage, those are techniques to increase focus. Going out for a walk ( my creative technique) eliminates the distractions of the internet, books, ugly wall coverings, nice paintings and lets you swim in an almost neutral zone where you can have only your thoughts. Where it starts getting closer to what you said is that imagination takes off, but not form lack of focus, it's from lack of barriers. When you're focused on thoughts, or jazzing, you don't have your filter distracting you; as George Mead would say it's all "I" and no "Me". You're more able to free associate and you uninhibited your imagination with the filters of "Oh that won't work" or "That's silly". Focus is the key!
I make drawings during class time. But I focus on the drawing. The brain can't pay attention to many things at once effectively. It automatically chooses one thing to deal with. Writing music, or drawing during class time isn't multitasking, that's called serial-tasking, when you switch between tasks. In fact I would say that this video suffers from the misunderstanding of multitasking vs serial-tasking. I'm no scientist, so I couldn't find the studies to back me up right now, but check out the DNews video on multitasking. It says the only 'multitasking' we can do CAN do, that our brain is physically capable of, is visual. Our eyes focus on one thing while the peripheral vision understand the environment, and we can figure out where to look next.
I don't think concentration is the secret to creativity. Most creative music pieces that I've played just popped up instinctively. I get the most creative thoughts during the _eureka moments_ which, just happen!
can someone answer y is this social intelligence so important all of the sudden , is it possible that we learn all of the things and used them and not measure ppl by they social skills or if they look good or by anything else ; Can we use the thing that we learn and see ppl for what they are and not for what we think they are or will we forever be bounce of idiots who knows things but they dont use them ? pliz answer :/
for exsample we know that looks to show the true human inside then y do we always have to be founder of the good looking ppl other then just plain loooking ppl its like in 90 % cases true that bugs me so much y dont we use what we learn

If you're going to talk about ADHD as if it exists, you need to identify what the physical markers for it are. Otherwise, you're taking a vague, subjective interpretation and regarding it as factual.
christinamemic Deflection. Your words do nothing to identify what the objective test for ADHD is. Also, false comparison. We can measure a lack of signal reaching a person's nerves/muscles. Finally, an appeal to emotion. I'm sorry that your parents didn't teach you to think rationally as was their obligation to you.
yay! someone who actually knows shit about ADHD and doesn't just say stupid shit that's completely false! This coming from someone with a MAJOR case of ADHD and minor brain damage.
That's why I think day-dreaming in school did me more good than paying full attention.
Walking is so important to creativity. I take a 1 hour walk whenever I'm stuck on an animation, and when I return it's so much easier to solve whatever was giving me trouble.
Two words:
Magic mushrooms.
more like LSD.
This is the smartest man ive ever seen
the research proves it.
I have ADHD, you guys were saying something about it before I wandered off to make my own video...
So true. How many great ideas or inventions came on a whim. Without deep focus. As a musician I can get a different satisfaction from improvising (jamming) as opposed to a structured song. Love Brain Craft. Thank you Nessy.
What is the psychology behind someone getting a pet? Also, how did procrastination make it through the evolutionary process?
Yess I'm curious about this too!
This is really inspiring, especially for one with Attentiom Deficit Hyperactiver Disorder!
I like hearing things similar to this, that our disorder isn't all that bad... Things like this make my day, thank-you!
OMG SECOND. Or third if we include your comment so I guess we are in some undetermined area of comment placement.
I am sorry you to tell you this... but you are fourth :'(
He is third
This is so interesting, I'm an aspiring artist and I tend to find I'm most creative when I take a drive late at night .
So that's why I always get ideas when riding the train/bus and when taking a shower. I love imagining stuff during those times, nothing else to do but just day-dream and sometimes come up with stupidly weird ideas.
When i wrote poetry i got my best ideas while swinging, and taking a shower or walking on an autumn afternoon. cool.
All ADHD kids put your hands up ✋

Check hyperfocus by Chris Bailey
Having autism (rigid thinking/focused, difficulty with abstractions) and adhd (easily distracted and imaginative) rips my brain apart. o_O
same
2:41 what do you mean by "keep the juices flowing"? What kind of juices?

LSD, done
You're so awesome pleas keep on making videos , you're definitely gonna be one of the major science channels out there like vsaus and ASAP science ...thanks a lot :)
I actually pace a lot when I'm extremely anxious with creative boredom. It actually helps and never really noticed until now lol.
I can't understand what she said at 0:15. The composers name is??? Gurter?
does anyone know?
I would like to become familiar with this composer. Any help would be appreciated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He was a writer

Really interesting about ADHD kids... Makes total sense to us.
Great Video !!!! This surely helps a lot .. to know how to be creative and at least to know what type of mind one has..
Keep it coming
I'll take a shower then, to get those creative fluids flowing.

bro are you alright
Eh. Cant complain..
+Jose Mercado Sounds like you may have created a tulpa by accident. It's possible to bring him back, if you are determined enough.
Alissah Kat any suggestions?
Jose Mercado Also, If you have Kik, I have a tulpa chat where you can talk in real time, if youre not a fan of the waiting on reddit thing.

Thanks!!!

Pacing totally works.
I think I wrote half of my melodies and a third of my lyrics while on the bus to campus/supermarket.
i see you love tacos) Btw, great drawings and the video overall is awesome)) keep up the great work!
LOVED this video.
was Goethe composer??

Thank you for including the references :)
I love your drawings. I wish I could draw that well.
I find your voice reasonable and pleasant.
I've learnt many things from your posts. Thanks.
1:14 "So you can direct your attention to what's most important" meow! 😅😅😅
Informative
Huh. I like to walk around and listen to music a lot, and I always have lots of ideas when I do that. I had no idea it actually helped :P

me be walking
I love tacos too :D
confusing video. had to watch it twice. should make more logical sense, like the asapscience videos.
gains ..............
yay! someone who actually knows shit about ADHD and doesn't just say stupid shit that's completely false! This coming from someone with a MAJOR case of ADHD and minor brain damage.

This video is click bait. It has nothing to do with the title.
