How To Generate New Ideas

There are loads of ways to generate new ideas. Below
you will find a few that will help increase your idea generating
capacity which is a function of intelligence increase. This increase
may not be in the real/raw sense, but in the sense that you will be
more educated and able to express ideas more than anything
else.
1. Use the
techniques in The Complete Guide To Genius.
This will bring a ridiculous amount of ideas to the
fore. There is no excuse for laziness. If you wish to increase your
intelligence or idea generation capacity and do so
consistently, this is clearly an investment you need to make in
yourself.
2. Get other
people's opinions.
Sounds like a no brainer
but seem people seem to shy away from getting the perspective of
another person. The trick here is to trade. Ask for an opinion after
offering the person value. The person's opinion may allow you to see
things from a distinct and unique point of view. It may give
you ideas that you would not have thought
about.
3. Educate
yourself.
If you want to generate new ideas
about a topic, it is a good idea to learn as much as possible about
that topic. Sources for this can be the internet, books etc. As you
understand other people's ideas, you will be in a better position to
being your own ideas to the fore. Thinker A says XYZ and thinker B
says ERT. Therefore I say LRU.
4. Experience your ideas first hand.
Go to a physical place where you are likely to gain new
ideas. This may be a thought group who have formed to discuss
similar topics, or you could go to a historical or famous site which
is linked to your topic.
5. Brain
Storm.
One of the easiest ways to generate
ideas. Set yourself a time limit to get the required information
from your subconscious. You will be surprised at how much you can do
in such little time. The value of a time limit means that there is
no time to mess around, and this pressure brings mental
efficiency out of you to get the work done.
6. Mentally focus on your topic.
The more you focus on it, the more the energy that
goes into it. This will bring new ideas to you and allow you to
contribute and expand in the
topic.
