Brainstorming tactics: Speed Storming

I know that I’m not the only person that has those days where all your ideas just plain suck. Usually my favorite brainstorming technique for my not-so-creative days is to do rapid brainstorming. The key to this type of brainstorming is to set a goal of 100 ideas in 10 minutes and write down literally everything you can think of. Even if your mind starts to drift and you think about a dog that is outside your window, write it down. This way you free your mind from the normal line of thinking; If you write an idea about a dog, it may lead to a great idea - normally you would discount this thought all together.
One of the reasons this technique is my favorite when my brain is feeling “blah” is that it purges out all of those crappy ideas that keep circulating in my head. Typically if I set a goal of 100 ideas and time is winding down, I scrape to come up with new things I haven’t thought of. This way I’m breaking out of my normal train of thought which is key when thinking creatively.
