Play takes us beyond the bounds of what our minds think is reasonable

Perhaps the reason why creativity is given short shrift in academia is because it has a light, playful energy, rather than the heavy, dense energy of facts, charts, research….and heavy books that have been sitting in dusty corners of the library for a hundred years.

I got my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and I love research. There’s definitely a time and place for weighing ourselves down with information.

But once in a while, we need to step out of what is known into what we don’t know.  And for that, we need play.

Play is effective because it takes us beyond the bounds of what our minds think is reasonable.

An attitude of play will engage your curiosity and allow you to create in the moment..
