- Bring a topic or idea you want to brainstorm to the table, and just start riffing on it back and forth. Write down all your ideas and don't critique a single idea.
You may end up with 100 horrible ideas, but I bet you'll have one or two good ones. Plus, you'll get better at this the more you do it.
