Diving and swimming

This technique requires 2 steps:

  • Deep immersion into a subject matterย without specifically looking for an answer to your problem.
  • Letting go completely while you process that information (actually walking away from it),ย to allow good ideas to bubble up from the subconscious and into clear view.

Exaptation

Exaptation

This is theย ability to reach beyond a specific field of expertise and create new uses for an older thing.ย Itโ€™s about taking one thing and using it for a different purpose than intended.

For example:ย Apply a cooking recipe to a marketing strategy or use a spreadsheet program to organize words for your poetry.

Fill the well

Fill the well

This well is the place you take all your ideas (no matter how abstract they are) and get them stored as actual information, so they can be used.ย 

Get your ideas into a recorded state. Doing this over time means your idea well becomes both parts of your brain and a physical extension of it. Use a notepad, Pinterest or any place you find suitable.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
