This past week for a class assignment, I created a 5 minute presentation on tips for an effective blog. I've learned that being able to take a lot of information and synthesize and condense it so that it's relatable to the audience and applicable, is a very valuable skill to have.
When I started my research on tips for an effective blog, there was so much information available, I didn't know how to organize it. What helped was making the information applicable to my audience which would be other fellow BYU students from the class. With this in mind, I was able to focus and narrow the topic and how these tips could benefit future careers and create possible promotions from having diverse skills in the blogosphere.
In my marketing class this week we learned that, "creativity loves constraints". Meaning, creativity will flow with having a constraint. For example, if you were asked to think of a new product idea? Or, think of a new type of chair? Which would be easier? The latter because, the additional constraint focused on a new type of chair makes creating new ideas easier. By having a constraint we are more likely to come up with very creative ideas. This applies to other aspects in life, like creating a project.
Give it a try next time you want to create a presentation or come up with a new idea, add a constraint and let the creativity flow.

How interesting! Thanks for the post. I recently learned in my Entrepreneurship class that companies are more successful when they have less funding in the beginning. It allows them the opportunity to focus on their customer needs and product features.
