3 keys to the ingenious thinking

It is believed that we use 10% of their brain capacity. Fortunately - this is nonsense, but it is clear that there are brilliant people ... and everyone else in society. But there is good news: you do not have to be extremely smart to be a creative person. There are three different ways to generate great ideas and develop your talent.




1. gain experience.

It is very difficult to come up with something when you do not have the knowledge in your head. Please note that all inventions in the world occur in sequence. First invented the wheel, then the cart, the steam engine, electricity ... every subsequent discovery builds on previous.

The mind can find connections between seemingly unrelated things only if he has a huge library of memories. Sherlock Holmes is a place called "attic". It is time to score his tweets and new memes. Begin to try new products, invent new routes to work or school, visit unfamiliar places, read books ... in short, do what you have not done.

2. reflectors.

It is a beautiful word simply means that periodically you need to think about the event occurred and make conclusions from this.

Here are some of the best ways to think about the past experience: meditation, yoga, journaling (blog), talk with friends, or just thinking in the park

. When you think about your own experience, you are doing several things at once. Past events are remembered better, and in the future you will be able to take advantage of lessons learned. Just thinking about the past, forced to analyze possible future (and that would be, if I had done so ...). This is excellent training your thinking.

3. Find a few solutions.

This tip I learned from Anatoly and Sergei Gina fireworks, and they are professional inventors (yes, there is such a profession, Trouble-shooters - if you like). Very often we find one solution, and calms down. More often - this decision is the most obvious and frankly boring

. Make a habit, on any problem finding at least three solutions. And best of not less than five. When it seems that a good idea has already been found, and nothing can come up with a new ... make an effort and find another solution. Often, it will be most effective.
