Keep a Journal – Practice writing every thought, idea, and inspiration down. Practice, brainstorming and

thinking on paper.

Solve the Opposite Problem –The idea is to invent and brainstorm by solving the opposite problem that

you are trying to solve. So, for example, if you are trying to create “The best laptop design”, then start with

ideas to create “The worst laptop design”. For each idea you come up with, flip it. For example, if “heavy

and clunky” is one idea for “The worst laptop design”, then flipping that might give me “light and sleek”

which can be used in “The best laptop design”. This technique works especially well when brainstorming in a

group. The technique sounds so silly that people will become playful when answering. Humor brings down

inhibition and encourages people to say things out aloud. People feel less insecure and more open.

Find A Creative Environment – Find a relaxing or inspiring environment that triggers your creativity. Try

different spots until you find some that really bring out the best in you. I alternate between my living room

(which I have carefully decorated) and a couple of local coffee shops.

Do something fun – If you‟re stuck on something, shift your thoughts by going to do something fun and

completely different. Come back to it with a fresh mind.

Partnering - Find creative partnerships with another. New ideas can surface as a result of two forces that

would not have been arrived by a single person. Brainstorm together.

‘Commit to Failure’ - “Commit yourself to taking enough risks that you will fail some of the time. If you‟re

not failing, we‟re not doing something sufficiently difficult or creative.” - Scott Berkun

Talk to Someone About It - I have found that when I try to articulate a particular problem to someone, that

I‟ll somehow articulate my solution, as well. When explaining my situation, I‟m not expecting them to solve

my problem, but rather act as a „bouncing board‟ for ideas.

**Plan for Roadblocks -Commit to efforts to overcome potential setbacks. It‟s

worthwhile to identify and have a plan for non-creative items that may inhibit

creative thinking. Scott talked about the most common roadblocks people face: Loss

of motivation, ran out of money, unable to convince key person.
