What we have learnt might obstruct us from being creative -- need to prevent established concepts from becoming road blocks to creativity
1. Don't use usual thinking channels if you want to create new ideas.
2. Blend concepts from dissimilar disciplines.
3. Take a bird's eye view.
4. Use random inputs to trigger thinking.
5. Change your angle and adopt various angles to view issues.
6. Invert. Consider the opposite.
7. Push and break boundaries. Stop thinking about the boundaries.
8. After the initial focused thinking, take time-off so as to allow ideas to grow "undisturbed".
9. You must have the intention to create. Leaving your brain to function on "auto-pilot" is to drift into established thinking channels.
10. Positive thinking -- change the way we speak. Need to be optimistic to encourage divergence thinking.
11. Show up and take the plunge -- you become what you pretend to be. Willingness to try is crucial to creativity.
