Create constraints.
Nick Drake recorded the album Pink Moon with just his voice and an acoustic guitar. Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez shot The Blair Witch Project on a camcorder with just a $60,000 budget (it saw a box office of $250 million). Henry Ford offered his Model T's in just one shade: black. Dr. Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham after his editor bet him he couldn't write a story using only 50 words. Constraints don't hinder creativity. They unleash it. Constraints narrow down the choices for the artist so they can focus entirely on creating great work.
