Inventive thinking drills
Creative exercises are activities designed to stimulate imagination, generate ideas, or develop artistic skills.
They range from structured prompts—Write for ten minutes without stopping—to open-ended experiments in any medium.
The term appears in contexts from writing workshops to corporate brainstorming sessions, where such exercises aim to loosen habitual thinking and spark fresh approaches.
