Sometimes, no matter how hard I try, ideas just don’t flow.
I’ve learned stepping away does more for my creativity than forcing it for hours!
What do you do to unblock yourself when you’re stuck creatively?

I've been doing the same as you since undergrad. If I hit a wall, the best thing for me is to step away instead of trying to power through. I'll take a walk, hit the gym, do chores, read - anything other than continuing to stare at the computer screen.

That’s a good mindset, a little break does wonders!

Stepping away, definitely, either for a quick break or diving into a different task. Also, freewriting has been helpful to me. Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and just write, no pauses, anything and everything that comes to mind.

Never thought about freewriting before, thanks for the tip!

You could possibly book a weekend away, to have the opportunity to take long walks, be away from interruptions!

That’s a good idea, a nice break always helps!

My favourite thing to do if im just stuck on new ideas is to draw a image even if its bad of just the initial thoughts of a new idea often I find it helps encourage new thoughts or help establish what I like and dont like about my current ideas

Oh that’s a good idea actually, i haven’t thought of that!

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.
