Best Practices

最佳实践

  1. Quantity first - Generate many ideas before judging
  2. Defer judgment - Don't critique during generation
  3. Build on ideas - Use 'yes, and...' thinking
  4. Embrace wild ideas - They often lead to practical ones
  5. Visualize - Sketch or diagram ideas
  6. Set constraints - Paradoxically, limits boost creativity
  7. Take breaks - Let ideas incubate
  8. Mix inputs - Combine different perspectives
  1. 先求量 - 在评判前先生成大量想法
  2. 延迟评判 - 生成阶段不要批评
  3. 基于想法拓展 - 采用“是的,而且……”的思维方式
  4. 接纳疯狂想法 - 它们往往能引出实用方案
  5. 可视化 - 绘制想法草图或图表
  6. 设定约束 - 矛盾的是,限制能激发创造力
  7. 适当休息 - 让想法酝酿
  8. 混合输入 - 结合不同视角
