🍴Creative Constraints
50 words. Over 200 million copies. One lesson.
Everyone always tells us to think outside of the box when it comes to creativity.
It’s like that “box” is holding us back and keeping our creativity caged.
But what if that box already had everything we needed to create something awesome in it?
Take Dr. Seuss.
He wrote The Cat in the Hat with only 236 words.
Then, his editor bet him he couldn’t write a book with only 50 different words.
He won.
The finished product? Green Eggs and Ham.
Dr. Seuss didn’t fight the constraints. He embraced them.
Those limitations forced him to approach his writing differently, unleashing his creativity.
Now, think about what you’re working on.
You might not have all the pieces you need, but what can you do with what you currently have?
Channel your inner Dr. Seuss and create something special.
