Creativity Boost

I just wanted to share that yes­ter­day morn­ing I really had a nice stroke of cre­ativ­ity and invention.

Just for the record, I am an inven­tor in addi­tion to the other things that I do for a liv­ing. I’ve got this amaz­ing board game that I cre­ated and I have a pro­to­type; what makes it a patentable inven­tion is that the board game design is unlike any other. It costs between $5,000 and $10,000 to get the patent done and about that much to get the first run of pro­duc­tion made, so one of my rea­sons for doing this is so that I can get more done at night so that I can focus on that project and some other projects as well.

So the really nice cre­ative boost that I got was when I was putting together my daughter’s lunch for school. She likes Mac N Cheese, but it’s not my first choice to give her for school (and I would only buy the organic ver­sion). One of the rea­sons it’s not my first choice is that it’s got no pro­tein. So, I got the idea that if I boiled an egg, chopped the egg whites to be the same size as a mac­a­roni noo­dle and mixed it in, she shouldn’t really think that it’s not good to eat.

Well, we did hear that she didn’t eat much lunch, so I don’t know if it worked, but I love the idea and there are other things here and there where my cre­ativ­ity came out to play.
