10+ Things You Can Do to Generate Endless New Ideas
Your mind is blank. You stare at your wall, aimlessly, waiting for ideas to come to you.
You think, and that’s exactly the problem.
The best way to solve hard problems is to go and do something completely unrelated that takes your mind off the topic.
While you’re doing that, your mind is working in the background on fixing the problem.
Here are a few things you can try.
- Read a book
- Work on a puzzle
- Go for a walk
- Play the piano
- Listen to some music
- Watch a new TV show
- Knit a scarf
- Sew something
- Play a video game
- Draw/doodle
- Listen to a podcast
- Practice a new skill
Anything you can do to get your hands moving and your mind off the problem. Personally, I like to take quiet walks in nature, knit, or read.
Almost always, new ideas will come to me while I’m working on something different.
Try something new today and see what kinds of ideas you come up with.
