In this era of information explosion, how to find the source of inspiration in the vast ocean of information and transform it into innovative thinking and practical solutions is a challenge faced by every creator and thinker. “20 Drawers of Creativity (opens in a new tab)” This book, written by Kazunari Uchida, a well-known Japanese professor and corporate consultant, provides a unique and effective way to deal with this challenge. I am in “Vista Reading Club (opens in a new tab)” and I am introducing this good book to the members, and together we explore how to use the theories in the book to enrich our creativity and life.
The art of creative management
Professor Uchida Kazunari (opens in a new tab) is in book (opens in a new tab) proposed that we should classify all kinds of information that we usually come into contact with and store them in the “creative drawer” in the mind. These drawers can be organized according to different themes or keywords. The author also encourages everyone to store some information from newspapers and magazines in the information bag. When we need some inspiration or solution, we can quickly find relevant information. This method can not only help us organize external information, but more importantly, it can also drive us to cultivate observation and thinking about daily life, thereby discovering problems and nurturing creativity.
Vista practical cases
Here, I would like to use myself as an example to share my information management experience with you. As a writer, consultant and lecturer, the challenge I face is not only to create new books or various works, but also to transform my knowledge and experience into valuable teaching content. By applying the method in “20 Drawers of Creativity (opens in a new tab)”, I began to consciously classify and organize the information I came into contact with. For example, I will set up special drawers for different writing topics, such as business management, creative writing (opens in a new tab), building personal brand (opens in a new tab), etc.
Whenever I need to prepare a lecture on Copywriting (opens in a new tab) or AI Application (opens in a new tab), I can quickly extract the required information and cases from the corresponding “drawer” and combine it with my own actual experience to form rich and attractive content. At the same time, this method also helps me maintain curiosity and sensitivity to the surrounding environment in my daily life, and then constantly replenish my “creative drawer” with new materials.
Easy-to-understand inspiration
Professor Kazunari Uchida shows us the connection between information management and creative ideas through the book “20 Drawers of Creativity (opens in a new tab)”. This book uses easy-to-understand language, combined with practical cases and methods. It is not only suitable for creators and entrepreneurs, but also for anyone who wants to improve their personal creativity and problem-solving abilities.
From the personal case I just mentioned, I believe you can understand the power of combining theory and practice. Whether it is writing a business plan, preparing an academic speech, or creating small ideas in daily life, the concept of “creative drawer” can provide us with a new way of thinking and organizing information.
Expand horizons
Through continued practice, I have discovered the unlimited potential that can be revealed by applying these theories to the process of personal growth and professional development. I would like to recommend you to read this book and apply the concept of “creative drawer” to daily life, from family management to workplace communication, from time management to the cultivation of personal interests. Every field can be significantly improved due to systematic information organization and creative thinking.
