Business Brainstorming Anxiety

2
Comments

Tonight I have spent some concentrated time brainstorming a project and to be honest I was getting nowhere.  For a little while I felt pretty anxious about it.

My rule for brainstorming is this:  If I don’t come up with an answer – I’m probably asking the wrong question.

I decided that in this case I was trying to force an idea where one just isn’t supposed to be had right now.

So I’ve tabled the project indefinitely.  The moment I made that decision, it occurred to me that I have a lot to deal with right here, right now.  Why was I trying to hatch something new?

Anxiety released. Peace returned  :)

Great advice Kelly! I always have way too many ideas floating around in my head. I have started carrying an idea journal (a small Moleskine notebook) in my purse, just to help my wandering mind. But I need to learn how to focus better on what I am currently doing like you did instead of following the rabbit down the hole :)

I think the best advice I was ever given (so far) was that when the juices aren’t flowwing it’s time to take a break and step away. You can’t force the creativity (as you said!) and the minute I realx and start to focus on other things that’s when everything starts to flow. Thanks Kelly!
