Writing for Creativity - Monday Writes Video
It’s a rainy Monday morning. You are waiting for the bus for 20 minutes or so, thinking that if you don't drink a hot chocolate as soon as possible, you can’t make it to work. Suddenly, a weird thought crosses your mind. Then, another one follows it. You decide to pick yourself up, thinking that a big idea is just about to pop up in your mind. It could change your whole disposition, day or career, so you begin to say out loud: “Yes, I finally found my creative idea!” Ignoring the fact that all the people around you will either stare or start giggling, you forget a really important fact about creativity: that it disappears as easy as it showed up.
Yes, creativity is a mysterious, yet an interesting “feature” of the human brain. Some people say that all of us are gifted with creativity from childhood, while others affirm that it can only be developed with experience, perseverance and will. We will never know the real truth, but we can guarantee you something: that today we at r3ciprocity.com will come up with tips to increase your creativity level, even when you would rather take a nap than writing one more page to your article or essay, so read carefully through the following lines.
1. Always carry an agenda with you
Even if you are an experienced writer or a beginner, it is always advisable to have an agenda with you, wherever you’ll go. Ideas come and go. It will be a pity to lose them just because you can’t access your notebook or your laptop at a certain time.
2. Spoil yourself
If you have a day off and you decide to spend it by doing what you really like – writing about your favorite subjects, just go to your favorite place, order your favorite drink, then close your eyes and let the creativity to come by itself.
3. Ask for help
Asking for feedback is probably one of the best things that a writer should do in order to increase his creativity. Sometimes, our ideas tend to come up when we hear other people talking about our work than by simply thinking of them by ourselves. Go and enjoy a drink with your best friend, then start asking him for feedback on your pieces of work. You’ll see that this will help you not only to spot some possible mistakes that you might have done, but also to find new ideas that you’d never thought about.
4. Images will inspire you
People say that images or videos are the best tools for increasing creativity. Our brain is capable of extracting information better from an image than from a long, boring text.
5. Pick the best time of the day
You should pick a favorable time of the day and concentrate hard on the subject that you’ll have to write about. For some people, the best time of the day is in the morning, while others can only work at night.
6. Don’t procrastinate
Procrastination is the worst enemy of creativity. If you make the mistake of leaving your paper for a “5-minute break”, your best ideas might disappear, leaving you disappointed. The best thing that you should do in order to avoid this thing is to have all that you need by your side before starting to work. By doing this, you won’t need to go after something within a pause of 5 minutes.
7. Use lists
Organizing your ideas into small lists can be a really useful thing when you will have to deal with a bigger task. This will help your ideas to look clear and organized, and it will also help you to better arrange and use them in the final article.
8. Be positive
Even if something won’t go well from the first try, you shouldn’t give up. Finding the right ideas can be very exhausting, mostly if you are a perfectionist or experienced writer that wants all the best from his creations. It is very important to pick yourself up and remember that nobody is perfect. With a smile, a positive attitude and a little break you will find a workaround.

As a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
