How to create your own Zwicky box

  1. Define your categories. Take a similar existing solution, list each part, then turn it into a category.
  2. Add the values. If you have difficulty in creating values, try looking for inspiration from existing solutions,
  3. Create unique combinations. Pick from each category and link the values together. Continue to create these combinations even if you don't see anything valuable at first.

If you have a Zwicky box with five categories, and each category contains five values, you can have 3125 unique combinations. From there, you can pick one or two high quality, innovative ideas.
