Submissions from 2017-03-20 to 2017-03-21 (1 total)

This is my last submission to the 10 ideas a day streak for now. My goal for this streak was to improve on my creative thinking, as I believe that can be treated like a skill you can train. So this last submission is devoted to more ideas to improve.

  1. collect inspiration & ideas in a filterable/searchable system/database (tags) to spark new ideas (by association)/ collect for later reference
  2. train Neural Network on idea database, to automatically generate new, similar ideas -> possible inspiration
  3. find new ideas together with other people to diversify results
  4. Separate process into a) analyzing problem and defining goals b) find ideas (judging-free) c) judge and select ideas based on defined goals
  5. Try out clustering method -> could be daily creative exercise around random word
  6. This streak accidentally used a creative technique - an idea marathon -> can keep on doing that, but in notebook I carry it with me, which makes it way easier to fit in the day to day
  7. Travel -> new impression, unfamiliar environments bring fresh perspective
  8. Participate in a creative writing class
  9. Idea finding process is like a Recurrent Neural Network: formulate goal, create output, measure quality of output based on goal
  10. Create more text generators to facilitate associative thinking

This was a fun streak! I really felt like I there already was a change in my ability to come up with ideas, putting me in the right mindset.

And I created some maybe interesting ideas on the way :D May continue this in analog form in my notebook.
