Episode notes
Schedule Dedicated Think Time
- Carve out regular 'think time' to generate and explore ideas without immediate pressure to execute.
- Use Post-it notes, journals, or visual layouts to capture and organize ideas so they can be acted on later.
Ideation Fuels Energy
- Ideation can energize the ideator more than it drains them; generating ideas itself can be motivating.
- Doing what you're best at (ideating) may be a valid outcome even if immediate execution doesn't follow.
Use Your Peak Creative Hours
- Block creative time during your personal peak (morning for many) to produce the mental boost for the rest of the day.
- Use that time to dream up efficient or innovative ways to complete work or help a customer.
