Day 17 Happy Trigger: Generating random ideas, then connecting them in ways you never thought possible.
Another Hyper Island day, picked up a real simple but super useful game that facilitates effective brainstorming and idea creation.
So we were asked to quickly write down five thoughts, each on a separate post-it note. The stickies were put up on a common wall, and we then worked in teams to link up random ideas from the wall to create new ones. A simple "X+Y+Z = ???" formula that led to plenty of brilliant ideas, all in under 15 minutes.
Very often, we get stuck in a loop with our own thoughts, preventing ourselves from being creative by blocking ideas before they even have a chance to take solid form.
No idea is too silly or ludicrous to be stomped out before it's heard, so the next time you're feeling uninspired, play this little game and let the seedling of creativity grow. =)
Bonus Happy Trigger: Colourful post-its!
