Unleash Your Creativity: 3 Powerful Ways To Capture & Grow More Creative Ideas by Dan Goodwin

To use my article example again, I might have put the title in the centre, then had each of the 3 ways as a separate arm extending from the centre, with a few extra details noted down. I could then have added other arms such as “the problem we’re addressing”, “background scenario”, “action points”, “key benefits”, “other related issues”, and so on.

Experiment and practice

You’ll know yourself which of these 3 methods is likely to work best for you, but I’d encourage you to try all 3 separately and then in combination to find what’s most powerful and effective for your unique way of creating.

The key to all of these methods is to use them as often as possible, and to keep that creativity flowing. Even if you don’t feel like you have any new ideas, just record what’s in your thoughts and before long a new direction or idea will come to you.

Another tip is each time you record an idea in any of the methods above, think about close variations on the theme and record a few of them too. It’s a great time to do this as your mind is tuned into to that particular line of thought. You begin to train yourself to think in sets, groups or collections of ideas, rather than single ones.

So, what are you waiting for, go and get those ideas recorded right away!
