stormbraining!

First, a definition of brainstorming: a group creativity technique designed to generate ideas and solutions for a problem.

Brainstorming is a great tool, whether you are on the job or in school it’s an amazing way to get together and share ideas and bounce them off of other people or just with yourself. Another benefit of brainstorming is the ability to see more clearly why an idea may not work or why an idea is better than the first. With your mind working in over time thinking about a solution for accomplishing a goal it might be found more easily and quickly if you think it out.

Even if you don’t come up with a solution right away the idea is to get all your creative ideas flowing. If you come into a project with a blank slate and absolutely no clue on what you might want to do you are basically screwed and not being productive. If you are having issues with making a decision don’t be scared to ask someone else for an opinion, you never know what they might say could help you and get you on a better track.

By writing things down or creating a diagram you are helping yourself get the best ideas on the table and opening your mind to figuring out what would be the best ideas to try out. Also, when you are brainstorming don’t be afraid to keep and open and welcoming environment to people who want to help you and give you a little criticism and teach you new techniques.

There is always going to be something that is unavoidable but if you find yourself getting off track just re focus and start writing things down again to help get you back going in the right direction.
