1. Restrict yourself
If you usually write 1000-word short

words.

2. Re-conceptualize the
problem “What sort of painting would
evoke the feeling of loneliness after a
break-up?”
CreativityBy Gregory Ciotti

3. Separate work from
consumption Consume information in
an “absorb state” where you are not trying
to multitask.
CreativityBy Gregory Ciotti

4. Stay positive
Even thinking about love was shown to
best encourage creative thinking.

5. Use counterfactual thinking
“In a world where Rhinos are domesticated
pets, who wins the Second World War?”

6. Daydream... after getting
started Incubation is only effective
when we already have information to
chew on.
