Week of november 5 - 11

1). Provide an example of creativity from your own experience. How does it fit with the chapter's discussion of creativity?

I like to think as simple man  and I tend do do things under the motto business as usual. However there are times when I am looking to improve the things that I do in life. For example recently I noticed that I was always showing up to work right on time. I am not a person that likes to do this, normally I like to get there about 15 minutes prior to starting my shift that way I can hang out, get set up and prepare myself for the day. With traffic being unpredictable when I drive to work from the 101 up to the 280 and then to 880 I decided that I try and find an new way to getting to work. So one day as I was driving there was the same traffic jam that starts at tully road and it last all the way to 880. I decided to call my friend who always gets to work on time and comes from the same town as do and ask her for directions. She gave me them and I set out on my new route the next day. The next day I left about five to ten minutes earlier than I did before just so I can get a sense of how the traffic was going to be  on my new route. Tuns out it was actually a lot faster this new route and it got me to work with plenty of time to spare. The book states that when you are driving to work on a new route to avoid traffic jams you are being creative. Id like to think that my creative side has allowed me to enhance myself at work as well. With me being prepared and not rushed when I get to work has led me to be a better employee.
