Imagination Vitamins

I found this on the wall of a doctor’s office. It is anonymous — no author is cited.  It is a list of things to do to spur our imaginations and our creativity.  I see these as a kind of vitamin pill — take one or more a day, to juice up our anti-habit anti-boredom anti-routine immune system.
