How I Get Ideas
Oct 07, 2022•14 min•Season 1Ep. 152
Episode description
Today’s episode is all about having ideas. I think we really worry about having ideas - we worry when we’re not having them, and we worry whether they’re “right” when we do get them. Being blocked and in an idea rut is a lonely, scary and frustrating place to be, so today I thought I’d talk to you about how I get ideas - about the kind of mindset I’ve cultivated, and the kind of activities and questions that always help me spark something.
What I talk about in this episode:
- Remaining open to ideas - and remaining curious
- The power of metaphor
- Topping yourself up with stimulus
- Embracing the counter-intuitive method of idea generation through body movement
