I think this list lacks non-verbal activities (I know we are all extremely focused on literacy!) - art, music, dance, sculpture, photography. I think one of the best ways to encourage creativity is to do something using a medium one does not use on a daily basis. Most of us spend too mush time with words!

This is a great list, but I think "finish something" is probably my single favorite item on it - nothing frees you to be creative like finally scratching something off that long "to-do" list!
