Creativity Break: Tilt Your Chair Back, Put Your Feet Up

Take a break from watching the news and reading about the $700 billion bailout; sometimes you just have to tilt back your chair, put your feet up, and simply take a “creativity break”.

The debate on whether the “Community Reinvestment Act” caused the current subprime lending crisis will still be going on when you’re ready to reconnect with the “real” world. Here are ten web sites to visit when you just want to do some leisure reading, or get some inspiration:

1. The Arrow of Time: On June 17th, every year since 1976, this family photographs each of its members to stop, for a fleeting moment, the arrow of time passing by.

2. Fresh Logic: An interactive Atlas that allows you to zoom into any place in the world.

3. To Do List: If you’re tired of looking at your own “to do list”, you can look through this collection of other people’s to-do lists.

4. One Sentence: True stories told in one sentence.  Here are some examples:

• “Everyone knows me as Jessica, but he knows me as the girl who actually wept with him when his frog died.”

• “As I woke up from my nap to find written on my feet ‘This is my momma and you can’t have her,’ I realized that my child is very, very strange.”

• “She saw the horror in his eyes as the dentist realized he had just cemented both his thumbs to her lower bridgework.”

5. Neatorama: Random, interesting stuff.

6. Post Secret:  People send in postcards anonymously revealing their secrets.

7. Snarf’d: More random, interesting stuff (an eclectic compendium).

8. Springwise:  Lots of great entrepreneurial ideas.

9. Drawn: An illustration and cartooning blog.

10. Cassette From My Ex:  People sharing memories of mixed tapes from relationships in their past.

A great site that I mentioned in a previous post is foundmagazine.com. There’s also Stuff On My Cat for cat lovers and Stuff On My Mutt for dog lovers. And, of course, you can always find something good on TED.com.

Are there any other interesting web sites or blogs that you visit when you need inspiration or a creativity break?
