How To Come Up With Radical Ideas

　　 1. believe Breach Always possible.

Strangely, it is often the most difficult part for people to convince their brains to believe in this basic idea. This is a bit strange, because the human brain -- including yours. Brain It is the most complex and creative object in the universe known to date.

The fact that you are seeking breakthroughs means that your brain can create breakthroughs. You think something is wrong or something can be solved in a more creative way. It is a signal that your brain is ready to achieve.

There are always some limitations when the idea is right. Even so, there are always some creative ideas and new methods beyond those limitations.

　　 2. let go of "what" and "how".

What is your goal, such as a creative solution to a problem, or a good idea for a new product. "How" includes the way you used to work hard to achieve these goals.

The reason why you need to break through is your "how" does not let you get your "what". Therefore, the more you think about "what" and "how", the more your brain will bump into obstacles that prevent you from achieving your goals.

So even if you really want that, you have to let go and stop thinking about it. At the same time, you must take "how" as a thing that no longer matters in the past. Only then will you be free.

　　 3. vividly imagine " Why? "

"Why" is what drives you to achieve "what" and try to "how".

For example, what you want is not a solution to a problem. What you really want is the sense of relief and satisfaction when the problem is solved. That's your "why".

Also, you don't really want a new product idea. What you really want is probably some kind of knowledge you are improving in other people's lives and the sense of accomplishment that comes from changing the world.

Here's what you need to do: two times a day, three days in a row, leaving three minutes alone. Close your eyes and imagine how you feel after experiencing a breakthrough.

Imagine what you will see. Imagine what you will hear. Imagine how your body feels. Try to make it as real as possible, because this exercise will stimulate your brain to produce breakthroughs.

　　 4. accept something that is not familiar with.

Most of us use the tools we know in some familiar place to do the best work.

However, in this case, one of the main reasons why you stick to the rules (and therefore need to break through) is that your brain connects the things around you with what you have done and the ideas you have had in the past.

Therefore, you must let yourself away from the physical location that makes you feel comfortable, and you have to go somewhere where there is no connection. This can be any place where you can sit and think without being disturbed.

Similarly, the tools you use in your work, your computer or tablet PC, also motivate you to follow the old idea. Make some changes. Instead of relying on your tablet PC, you take out pencils and paper. Or a large marker and a piece of cardboard.

　　 5. jot down everything.

Re imagine your "why" and write down everything that comes into mind in your mind about how to achieve "why", even if it is not what you think you want to write.

This process is similar to brainstorming except that you are doing things like yourself instead of a group of people. However, it is better than brainstorming in two aspects.

First, you have no one else to participate. You don't have to worry about whether you want to come up with the idea of stupidity, because you are the only one who knows stupid.

Second, and more importantly, your "why" motive is your personal rather than spreading among multiple people with multiple agendas. Because it is private, it can more easily destroy the obstacles to creating breakthroughs.

　　 6. choose the best breakthroughs.

If you follow the above tips, you will eventually have a list of ideas, many of which are not even within the scope you initially thought acceptable. They may have different "what" - for example, a new service rather than a new product. Even if "what" is the same, their "how" will of course be different.

I can guarantee this system in my own name, because I have used it and started to use it imperceptibly. In the past few years, I consciously used it to create creative ideas for my career and life.

One of the breakthroughs is in 2007, when my future will be confusing in blog writing rather than in magazine writing. Another recent breakthrough is to come up with a title for my new book.

I also used this method on some minor breakthroughs, such as when I could not decide what to write in this blog post. In fact, this article was written by my local young men's Christian Association in pens and pencils, when my son was playing basketball.

Anyway, if you follow the above method, I can almost guarantee that you will come up with something unexpected.
