We found a Cambridge creativity test with interesting mechanics. We have passed this test with the whole team, so we can definetely recommend it to you. 🙃
Rules. Write 10 words that are as different from each other as possible. For example, cat and dog are similar, but cat and startup are not. The authors of the test advise not to look for words around you, but to come up with them yourself.
– only individual words in English
– nouns (subjects, concepts)
– without proper names (Shrek, iPhone)
– without technical terms
⏳ Passing time: 2-4 minutes.
If you are not strong in English, try the cheat: set the timer for 4 minutes. and write 10 words in the notes. Then just translate and copy into the test window.

You may find the rules in Brian Tracy's book Eat the Frog helpful if you have trouble finding time to study. 📙
The book teaches how to set goals, plan work, systematize tasks and solve the most important of them step by step.
We have the 8 best tips from the book ready for you.
📋 Plan tasks
Learn to plan your day, week, and month in writing (on paper or on your smartphone).
Every minute of planning saves more than ten minutes.
🔢 Prioritize
Tracy works on the principle of NBDC:
N - No doubts, make it happen
B - Bye-bye, mañana - do it now
C - Create enjoyable experiences
D - Delegate
⏰ Use time management strategies
Choose your favorite: Pareto's Law, Salami Method, Eat a Frog in the Morning Rule, Pomodoro Technique, 10-3-2-1-0 Formula, and Eisenhower Matrix. Monitor your effectiveness with different methods.
💼 Organize your work
Keep gadgets, passwords, and programs handy. Save sites and services in your browser’s bookmarks. Take notes. Think about the workplace as well making it attractive, comfortable, and convenient.
❌ Learn to say "No"
Give up on the small stuff to make time for the big stuff. These also include empty activities, distractions, and useless habits. It can be challenging to say no to a person. But which matters more: being polite or being efficient?
💯 Do what you start
Everything you start triggers new processes in your brain. Even if a person switches, the brain continues to work on the old task. Keep your focus. You should keep a list of tasks and checklists - it will save time and effort.
🔋 Don't lose your energy
Take short breaks (5-10 minutes every hour) while you work. Afterward, stretch, take a shower, and go for a walk. If you don't have energy, you should put things off for a while and not blame yourself.
🥳 Become an optimist
Most successful people in business are optimists. Tell yourself that you can handle any task. Think positively, but don't lose sight of motivation since overly optimistic people waste motivation on fantasy.
