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
- I keep treating one piece of this as a given
- I’ll grind on the same not-quite-working approach for months before adjusting anything, then change five things at once
- When I try to scan my body I race through it in a couple of minutes, skimming past whole parts and skipping the spots that feel uncomfortable
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?
SCAMPER: A Systematic Creativity Technique - Substitute
Ask: what component, material, person, process, or rule could be swapped for something different?

Cycle through short tests quickly to compress your learning rate.
