Principles for Brainstorming

Never be stuck without an answer. Get a few friends together, live or by Zoom, and brainstorm 50 possible ways to solve the issue. Afterward, journal and see what the Lord highlights as His creative solution. Move forward!

Principles for brainstorming

1. Judgment and criticism are forbidden.
2. Freewheeling is welcomed.
3. Go for quantity.
4. Seek to combine and improve ideas as they are mentioned.

Additional guidelines

1. Make your problem specific, rather than general.
2. Use brainstorming only for problems that call for idea-finding, rather than judgment.
3. 30 minutes is a good length for a brainstorm­ing session.
4. Begin the brainstorming session by explaining the four basic rules given above. Put them on a whiteboard or a placard.
5. Avoid an atmosphere of perfectionism. Keep it fun.
6. Encourage ideas that are sparked by previous ideas. Encourage a chain reaction, where individuals feed creatively off the ideas of others.
7. Have a non-participant present to record every idea that is mentioned.
