The good news is that brainstorming takes place. right Method means doing it as many times as necessary to get the result. So you will get better!

How can you start brainstorming right now?

We almost always think of brainstorming as a group activity. In his classic book on brainstorming, applied imaginationAlex Osborn actually said that the ideal number for a brainstorming session is 12 people.

But in the years since Osborn’s innovation, research has shown that individual brainstorming can actually be much more creative. This is because in group settings, ideas tend to converge too quickly into the same few thoughts, limiting overall creativity.

If you’re working on a personal life question, you can start brainstorming by forming a question and then beginning to generate ideas using freewriting, word association, or drawing mind maps.

Personal brainstorming may include:

  • What can you do to be happier at work?
  • What do you want to do in life?
  • How to fight better with your partner
  • What new habits will improve your life?
  • How to Make More Money/Get a Raise
  • How to meet your life partner
  • How can you improve your marriage?
  • What is the topic of your screenplay?

If you have access to a group, such as a group of friends, colleagues, or even a social media outlet, tap on that group. Initial brainstorming with others can be enough to start taking action steps that can later be improved on your own.

(Real) Brainstorming can solve problems big and small

Great moments of innovation often have a lot in common. A small group of highly skilled and motivated people come together to brainstorm.

Isn’t it great that everyone has access to the same processes?

Done right, brainstorming is a technique that increases creativity and productivity in both your work and personal life by giving you the tools to solve difficult and frustrating problems.
