Running out of Ideas again...🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Why do we always lack ideas?

Because we are still caught up in the niche web.

Picking a topic from the whole has done more Harm than Good. 

⛔ Your creativity is Limited.
⛔ Your contents become stiff. 
⛔ When you could be swimming in the sea, you are trying to fit into a river.

*So, your Niche is your Story not a Topic.*@ Techies Infotech

Um… wat?

Not quite sure where you're going with this, but thanks for sharing nonetheless.

This reads like something that would be posted on LinkedIn with a line between each sentence. I like the overall message about being creative though!

You don’t lack ideas. You lack a process to get those ideas.

A creative process can be summarized like this:

A goal must be known at the starting point.

Ideas must connect to an insight, and that insight must connect to your goal.

Use prompts to generate ideas.

Bounce your ideas off of someone else.

First collect as many idea seeds as possible (sometimes hundreds). Then pick the best 5, only use up time refining those 5.

Then you pick the best 1 from those 5.

I think I just had a stroke reading this. Care to simplify it? I got nothing from this.

Hmm. I think you need more inspiration. Ideas come from literally anything. You just need to take a breather, relax, and look around.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
