Google Search Tips
I came across some information on
searching in google that you might find helpful. These few little items
can make your searches more effective and efficient. - Use quotes and phrases like "huckleberry resources" or "business coaching"
- Add specific words with a + to require both words in a result. For example: huckleberry+resources
- Subtract specific words with a - to eliminate certain things from your results like: business consulting -accounting
- Put
a + before your keyword to only look for that keyword and not other
synonyms. So if you search for: car you will also get auto and vehicle,
but if you search for +car you will only get responses with the word
car.
- If you want to find something on just one website you can search as follows: site:huckleberry resources blog

Developing Creativity
I find that creativity is like a muscle. The more you practice and
exercise that muscle, the more inspired and creative you become. So how
do you practice? Here are some ideas:- Keep a daily journal or just write a page a day
- Use a free-flowing writing style, just put down whatever you can think of
- If you are more art inspired, take time to draw/paint/sculpt everyday
- Keep a sketch journal instead of a written journal
- If you are more music inspired, play, sing or create music every day
You
don't have to dedicate an hour to this exercise, maybe just start with
5 minutes of writing and see where that takes you. You can use these
techniques just before starting a project as well. Take 5 or 10 minutes
and choose your method above, then dive in to your homework, household
project or the bookkeeping you have been putting off.
The point is, do something every day that will keep you stimulated, inspired and exercising that muscle! |
