Practices that may help

  1. SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique
    SCAMPER is a structured brainstorming checklist that prompts you to Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify/Magnify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, and Reverse/Rearrange elements of an existing product, process, or problem. It is a practitioner-derived tool with no randomized trial evidence but a strong theoretical grounding in divergent thinking research — it works by forcing systematic exploration of an idea space that unguided brainstorming leaves partially uncovered.
  2. Identifying and challenging dysfunctional coping modes
    Spot when you’re in surrender, avoidance, or overcompensation mode — and the schema need underneath it.

  3. Adapt
    Ask: what could be adapted or borrowed from another context, industry, or era to solve this problem?
    SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique
  4. Eliminate
    Ask: what could be removed, simplified, or reduced without losing what makes this valuable?
    SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique
  5. Substitute
    Ask: what component, material, person, process, or rule could be swapped for something different?
    SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique
  6. Modify and Magnify
    Ask: what happens if you make an element bigger, smaller, faster, slower, stronger, or weaker?

  7. Reverse and Rearrange
    Ask: what if the sequence were inverted, the roles were swapped, or the normal order were reversed?
    SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique
  8. Put to other uses
    Ask: who else could use this, and what problems could it solve if applied somewhere entirely different?
    SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique
  9. Supercompensation
    Supercompensation is the physiological principle that after a training stress and adequate recovery, the body adapts to a higher baseline than before — but only within a narrow timing window. Train again too early (still depleted) or too late (adaptation has faded) and the window is missed. The concept is foundational in periodization science; exact timing windows are individual and modality-dependent.
  10. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, Made Practical
    Imposter syndrome, first described by psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes, is the persistent feeling of being a fraud despite real evidence of competence, paired with a fear of being exposed. The phenomenon is widely reported and the experience is real, but it’s a described pattern rather than a formal diagnosis, and rigorous evidence for specific cures remains limited.
