Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I have a hunch somebody, somewhere, has already cracked a problem shaped just like mine
- This has slowly piled up with so many steps and features that it feels heavy, and I’m sure some of them are just there out of habit
- Even after all this work I notice I’m gravitating right back to the safe, familiar combinations and skipping the strange ones

- Something’s off in this piece but I can’t tell what, and every time I get frustrated I tear the whole thing down and rebuild from scratch
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 - Eliminate
Ask: what could be removed, simplified, or reduced without losing what makes this valuable?
