But a word of warning re: no. 23. When photocopying your face you should bear in mind that someone else in your office may have read this post before you and photocopied their butt! Sorry for lowering the tone :) This is a great list. But a word of warning re: no. 23.

Sometimes I head there for a break. that said, one afternoon I went with my ipod, played music really loud, and suddenly found myself skipping along the water's edge. I had a huge smile on my face and it felt incredible. This can be done on a city street or wherever your work is located! A weird break is another way to get out of your day to day to get creativity flowing. Great list. I work from home and I live near the beach.

Hi Ross, drinking water upside down in front of others is a great way to shake up the day. Hi Tom, a rotting deer skull is a strange and beautiful object. I'm wondering where you will put it.

I love this kind of stuff because our weirdness is the only thing that keeps us sane. There is way too much sameness out there. I love singing my goals out loud and playing my harmonica along to YouTube classics. Find a weird object on a walk break and keep it on your desk. For some reason I just had to bring back that rotting deer skull from my walk last month. :) Now your talking. I love this kind of stuff because our weirdness is the only thing that keeps us sane.

Hi April, being a little weird does allow the creativity to flow more freely. It helps me write. Hi J.D., already done. ;)

I tend to spend too much time trying to force the creativity to flow, and not enough time letting go (so the creativity can flow). I just took a moment to do a little dance and a few yoga poses...now I'm ready to work again. :) I love this list.
