Try it here: list ideas before judging any
Write three possible ideas for your problem, without picking one yet. Quantity first makes the good options easier to find.
What are three possible ideas, before you judge any of them?
Practices that may help
- Design Thinking, Step by Step
Design thinking is a five-stage problem-solving framework — empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test — popularized by IDEO and the Stanford d.school. It is a process model, not a tested intervention: its value comes from forcing you to understand the user before you commit to a solution, and to learn cheaply through prototypes instead of expensive bets. - Iterate — treat the stages as a loop, not a line
Cycle back to earlier stages as testing reveals you framed the wrong problem.
Design Thinking, Step by Step - Assign project phases to genius-matched people
Route early ideation to Wonder/Invention geniuses and execution phases to Tenacity geniuses.
The 6 Types of Working Genius (Patrick Lencioni) - Prototype — make it cheap and real
Build the roughest possible version that lets you learn something specific.
Design Thinking, Step by Step - Empathize — understand the user first
Observe and interview the people you are designing for before forming any solution.
Design Thinking, Step by Step - Ideate — generate options before judging
Produce many candidate solutions, deferring evaluation until you have quantity.
Design Thinking, Step by Step - Run a small experiment before committing to Plan B or C
Design the smallest possible real-world experience that would tell you something true about a plan before you commit to it.
Odyssey Plans: Designing Three Alternative Futures - Test — let users break it
Put the prototype in front of real users and treat their confusion as data.
Design Thinking, Step by Step - Lead ideation with deep user empathy
Understand the person you are designing for before generating a single solution.
Creative Confidence, Made Practical - Define — frame the right problem
Synthesize your research into a single, sharp problem statement before solving.
Design Thinking, Step by Step
Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I treated the whole thing like a checklist and shipped the first version because I’d "finished the steps"
- I keep dragging the big-picture dreamers into the tedious finishing work and asking my finishers to brainstorm wild ideas, and everyone’s miserable and the handoffs are a mess
- The idea lives perfectly in my head so I keep refining it there and trusting it more and more, but it’s never once touched reality
- I built the thing I was sure people wanted and it just didn’t land
- I grab the first idea that pops up and start poking holes in it immediately, so I never get more than two or three options on the table
