Reset your Ideas

Ever feel like your ideas are stuck in a rut? The secret to refreshing your creativity is simple: step into new situations and try things you wouldn’t normally do.

Remember when you first started coding and thought of creating a to-do app? You weren't alone; many have had the same idea. It’s like how a heatwave makes everyone think, “We need air-conditioning.” Different people often come up with similar ideas.

So, how do you break free from this kind of thinking and reset your creativity?

1. Find Your Heroes and Emulate Them: Look up to those who inspire you, whether they are artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, or authors. Let their work influence you.

2. Create What You Want to See: Make the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, and build the products you want to use. Do the work that you feel should exist in the world.

3. Dive Deep into Your Chosen Field: Become an expert in your area of interest. Read every book, study every note, and immerse yourself fully.

In essence, generating unique ideas is about satisfying your own curiosity and solving your own problems. Think about the last time you searched for something on YouTube and couldn’t find it—that’s an original thought waiting to be explored. Dive into the search and lose yourself in the process of discovery.
