A recent study published in Psychological Science has found cheating may actually be helpful in boosting your creativity.

The study involving five different experiments had participants performing various tasks. The participants were also given an opportunity to over-report their performance.

Based on the findings, those who cheated performed more creatively on subsequent tasks, even when accounting for individual differences in creativity.

Of course, we're not endorsing that you start making plans on being a conman. But if you're in need of a creative boost, maybe getting a little crafty could be just the thing you need to get those creative juices flowing.
