How about packing lunch for yourself (maybe even for colleagues). Do you know that Japanese art of packing lunch? I forgot what it's called, but they cut meats and vegetables to form an art, like a scene in Spongebob Squarepants, or maybe a Mona Lisa. Haha You can start from there =) I know I always look forward to lunch. At least there's something to look forward to.

Hi riani2009. Are you interested in cooking/baking? Most of my friends improve their monotonous way of life by enrolling in culinary weekend classes. They normally learn how to bake cookies, prepare drinks and beverages, and improve food presentation. As in my case, I add color into my life by regularly meeting friends or former work colleagues, read a lot of books and surf online. Every weekend, my husband and I jog in a public park near our place.

I don't really know whether creativity is something that can be taught. I do, however, think that maybe if one would have the concept of thinking out of the box so to speak, then maybe it would increase his/her chances of creativity.
