brainstorming

Generate ideas alone first, then collaborate to develop and test them

Think outside the box

Find the best doable option

Break down big problems

Intentional mind-wandering that unlocks creativity, planning, and recharging

Systematically empty your head of every open loop using category-based prompts

Five steps your brain already uses to plan -- purpose, vision, brainstorm, organize, next action

Create choices before you make choices

Occupy your conscious mind with a distraction and let your unconscious solve the problem
