Innovation Insights: Where Play Powers Breakthroughs

Today’s daily doodle is a small exploration of knot doodles. Flying fish, a sleeping cat (?), a dog, and a floating ball for Doodlebot to say hello from. What can you create when you draw a knot doodle? #doodlebot #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2018 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #abstractart

Goodbye, week! Goodbye flu! Doodlebot is looking forward to this week being healthier than the last two. Here’s to fresh starts! #doodlebot #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2018 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #abstractart

Saturday morning doodle. Day 13 of The Flu. Feeling closer to human, drawing critters while listening to Play, by Stuart Brown on audiobook. #doodlebot #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2018 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #abstractart

I actually managed to make it out of the house today. Got myself dressed in real clothes for the first time in over a week. That’s what Day 12 of The Flu looks like in these parts. Doodlebot is celebrating, apparently, by flying on a weird-shaped balloon. Don’t ask me, I just draw the doodles. The interpretation is […]

Day 10 of The Flu. Had to cancel my first gig for my brand new consultancy. Let me tell you, that was a low point. And it’s still January. But then, when things are so low, the only place to go is up, right? That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. Doodlebot says it’s always darkest before […]

Doodlebot is working on letting go today. Sometimes it’s hard to let go when something makes you angry. The important thing is to hold onto love, even through the anger. #doodlebot #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2018 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #abstractart

Doodlebot is sleep-deprived today, from getting caught up in a good book last night. (Oh, Doodlebot, I understand, it happens to me, too!) When sleep-deprived, willpower is offline and lizard-brain takes over, so meditation, good nutrition, and exercise become *extra* important. (Plus a nap could be in Doodlebot’s future.) In the meantime, Doodlebot is grateful for central heating […]

Sometimes Doodlebot feels overwhelmed by all the ideas—how to accomplish everything? The connections are not clear yet! “Am I even capable?” Doodlebot wonders. We all experience these kinds of doubts—it means we’re growing! You can do it, Doodlebot! The path will reveal itself as you walk it. 😊👊 Remember, fear means growth. Follow the fear, Doodlebot! #doodlebot #creativesandbox […]

Doodlebot knows that the only way to create something new is to dive into uncertainty, and that’s scary. So Doodlebot’s motto for the new year is “fear means growth.” And “follow the fear.” Otherwise you’re just rehashing what you’ve already done, and what’s creative about that? Answer: nothing. Get comfortable with discomfort, baby, that’s what Doodlebot is learning […]

Doodlebot has so many ideas!!! The challenge is always figuring out which ones to work on and which ones to let go, isn’t it? Nobody ever said being a creative was easy. 😉 #doodlebot #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2017 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #abstractart

“The thing you do first is the thing that gets done,” says Doodlebot. So if you want to make sure you get some creative play into your day, build it in first thing! That’s why my daily doodle practice is part of my morning routine! I literally doodle in bed, my “early morning studio.” 😉 That way I […]

Doodlebot has big dreams for this year! What about you? Doodlebot knows that what matters more than dreams, though, is *execution*. So Doodlebot doesn’t just dream, Doodlebot writes all those dreams down, prioritizes them, then breaks them down into steps, and takes ACTION. Little by little, baby step by baby step, that’s how Doodlebot turns dreams into reality. […]

Happy New Year from Doodlebot! Doodlebot did not set out to draw this particular design, Doodlebot wants you to know! It’s very bizarre! But Doodlebot has a goal of being receptive and open, of saying “yes, and” to the reality of what is presented on the page, and of feeling dauntless, regardless of what gremlins might appear. So […]

This doodlebot is walking out on a limb, even though it’s scary, because this doodlebot knows that’s where all creative ideas happen. What are you walking out on a limb to create today? #doodlebot #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2017 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #abstractart
