Innnovators and artists alike both want more of this. Here’s how you get it.
- Discipline
- You have to set up time and work
- Many people are creative first thing in the morning. Fine. Set an alarm, get up early, set a 20 minute timer and go
- BUT - as soon as that's done, you take a 5 minute break and then set another 20 minute timer, and then another, and then another.
- The volume of output is what makes the great ideas come, not great ideas themselves.
- your full time job is creating stacks of ideas that might be gold, might be trash, or might be mined for gold
- When you are challenged to come up with a good idea, come up with 50. The pressure of getting 1 idea perfect throttles most people and keeps them from from producing
- always have your tools handy - never have a reason to not be able to capture
