What if the best ideas are the ones you’re not looking for? Stop overthinking it. No seriously, that's probably what's holding you back most. ---> Let your mind wander (yes, even to children’s books). ---> Capture the ideas when they float to the surface. ---> Give yourself the space to notice what’s around you. Ideas don’t have to come from “serious” places. Sometimes, they’re waiting for you in the places you least expect. Where’s the most unlikely place you’ve found inspiration lately?

There’s a reason why play and unstructured time play such a large role in innovation. You have to make space for it if you want new ideas.
Letting your mind wander can unlock ideas you’d never find through overthinking.
I get my best ideas driving around.
For me, I once got a breakthrough idea from a cooking show seeing how they simplified complex recipes made me rethink how I was presenting my work. Patrick Rife
Stop overthinking; start exploring. Patrick Rife
The shower thoughts are always the best ones! It's like our brains need permission to play before the real creativity kicks in.
Absolutely! Some of the best ideas come when you’re not actively searching. Letting go of that constant need to “think hard” can be a game-changer. I’ve found inspiration in the simplest places, like casual conversations or even something I read in passing. Ideas are all around if we stay open to them!

4 个月Some of my best ideas have come during activities completely unrelated to work, like doodling or taking a walk. It’s amazing how inspiration can hit when you’re not actively searching for it. Anyone else notice this when stepping away from a screen?
