I’m going to start with this today

Warm, Partly Cloudy, 100% Chance of Brain Rain via 43Folders

Keys to catching the brain rain:

• set aside 10 minutes, each and every day


• have pen and paper handy


• allow yourself the freedom to think crazy thoughts


• don’t worry if nothing really productive springs to mind right away


• periodically scan over your notes from these sessions as things may pop into your mind after they have “marinated” for a while


• if no ideas pop into your head pick a fun topic and doodle a bit


• use word association to get things rolling if you feel stuck e.g. thinking -> thoughts -> mind -> brainstorm -> brain rain
