Practices that may help
- 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. - Adapt
Ask: what could be adapted or borrowed from another context, industry, or era to solve this problem?
SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique - Abandon the work for a defined period and return fresh
Structured incubation — not avoidance — is an active creative tool.
Oblique Strategies, Made Practical - Recover from setbacks without quitting the goal
Build a routine for bouncing back so setbacks don’t end the pursuit.
Grit: Passion and Perseverance, Honestly Assessed - Reframe failure as information, not verdict
Build a personal rule: "I got data" replaces "I failed" after every attempt that didn’t land.
Creative Confidence, Made Practical - Express work in reusable intermediate packets
Break your creative output into small, reusable units — outlines, summaries, frameworks — that can be combined and repurposed.
Building a Second Brain (BASB), Made Practical - Repeat, loop, or return to an old idea deliberately
"Use an old idea" — something already in your history may work now that it could not before.
Oblique Strategies, Made Practical - Treat failed attempts as constraint-locators rather than dead ends
Each failed approach tells you precisely where the active constraint lives — mine that information before trying again.
