Getting started is always the hardest part. Don't
place restrictions on yourself! We always begin our
creative thinking with a "SKYhook Phase"
SKYhook
[skahy-hook] -noun
an imaginary hook mounted in the sky to be used
to hold anything up without an actual tether.
We
are BIG fans of the SKYhook! If you employ this
device into your initial creative thinking you can
remove the need to figure out HOW everything works
and just be creative! You will worry about how to
make it function later and get all the good ideas down
first!
Other methods to help
your creative thinking/planning:
- Bad Ideas
Are Good - when confronted with a bad idea
think of its opposite & you may find a good
one!
- Draw! - it doesn't matter if you are an artist, just draw it!
The process gets ideas out of your head and into
the world making them much more
tangible.
- Sounding Board - if you are in a group or
working solo you still need to throw the ideas
out to others... your ideas will generate ideas -
guaranteed!
- Shake it UP - get out of your normal space! Try having a
creative session in a new location - it always
helps!
-
Be BOLD - share everything!! All your
ideas will spawn other ideas! If they are bad...
see the 1st method!
