And while creativity is often instinctively associated with art, design, drawing, and the like, I personally prefer Sir Ken Robinson’s definition of creativity as “the process of having original ideas that have value”, with an emphasis on “original”.
Actually, my upcoming book, Captain Code, was created to address this exact need, creativity and creative problem solving via coding.
Check out the blog post for creative hobbies ideas, including some that you may not have thought of as creative.
