I rent creativity from Starbucks.  And it costs me $2.30 (the exact price, coincidentally, as a Venti Bold coffee, black, filled to the rim).

I need time away from my office, away from my desk and the normal demands of my job.  I can get so sucked into the day-to-day that I forget to lift my head up and move beyond the task list in front of me.  And if you’re a leader, you need that time, too.

For the role it plays,  $2.30 is pretty cheap to rent a little creative space.

Where do you go for creativity?  Is there something you listen to?  Read?

How do you remove distractions so that you can lift your head up?
