Over the last couple of months I have been trying to bring a more creative aspect to the most ordinary of tasks. One thing I did a couple of months ago was to buy brightly coloured paper so I was not only writing in black, white and blue.

When I am taking notes or jotting down ideas I am also trying to represent some of those things either graphically, diagrammatically or using colour or shapes.

So yesterday while I was enjoying the inspirational speakers at TedxDublin I tried to capture what they were saying not only just in words but also in images and coloured text.

It is funny, it acts as a far better memory aid when I see the pictures and there is a great sense of pleasure in doing them also. I am going to try and continue this practice as it brings the concept of creativity very much into the every day.
