The Method For Producing Ideas
All ideas follow a five-step process:
- The gathering of raw materials—both the materials of your immediate problem and the materials which come from a constant enrichment of your store of general knowledge.
- The working over of these materials in your mind.
- The incubating stage, where you let something beside the conscious mind do the work of synthesis.
- The actual birth of the Idea—the “Eureka! I have it!” stage.
- The final shaping and development of the idea to practical usefulness.
