  1. Source ideas

Ex 2. Wild sparks

Give yourself 3 minutes to get your idea juices flowing. I want you to let your mind free.

  • Write down as many ideas as you possibly can.

  • For this exercise, quantity is more important than quality – challenge yourself, how many can you come up with?

  • Don't dwell on any idea, don't write descriptions or pitches of any one idea.

  • Just write everything down, no matter how wild, obscure or unrealistic.

  • Actually, enjoy noting down the bizarre and unrealistic ideas as much as the ones that might work.
