Creativity 4 practices

One fun experiment is to give objects new names. For instance, take a paperclip. Examine it closely, like you just invented it — what might you call it? Try this with a telephone, a T-shirt, a strawberry, or any other everyday object in your life. Often we take familiar objects for granted and fail to notice their exquisite form and detail. Giving them new names is a way to see them with fresh eyes.
