Jagged Thoughts for Jagged Times, 339

Alien life forms loved watching planet earth-the jewel of the known universe-and sipping some of the best earth coffee and listening to the recently re-mastered White Album, wonder and ask: why did human beings have to make things so complicated?

Time Better Spent

with Michael Wade.

Basics 7: Ideas

1. Ideas which might be handy come from anywhere. Have a good system of capture so you can 'work them up' to a better form.
2. Edges are good places to find ideas. Sleep/waking. Shower/dressing. Exercise/Recovery. Office/Fresh-air Walk.
3. As are fresh conversations with different people with different backgrounds. 
4. And writing at speed without pause...
5. Or doodling all over nice, large sheets of paper.
6. Or playing ball against a wall....
7. Remember: the brain is sparking fresh ideas all the time. Are you present at their birth? Or too busy looking for a solution?
