Welcome back to Creative Constraints Club. Week six carries us along the RIVER.
I’ve been re-reading Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s book Flow. The psychologist writes that “it is being fully involved with every detail of our lives [...] that we find happiness”. It makes sense. I mean, when did you last see a flowing river look unhappy?
I used the concept to develop Gumtree’s ‘refreshingly optimistic’ language. Training was amazingly fun. I loved seeing staff smile as they revealed the positives.
