New, Newer, Even Newer & Breakaway From

Creativity Challenge 1999 #16

Often we talk about coming up with "breakthrus" when in actually what we are needing is "breakaway froms". This week practice creating, developing, discovering..."breakaway froms".

Monday-First time
Choose a simple product and list 6 to 12 new uses for it.
Tuesday-Second time
Choose one of the 6 to 12 ideas and list 6 to 12 ways to make it "even newer"
Wednesday-Third time
Take one of the "even newer" ideas and list 6 to 12 newer ways to use them.
Thursday-Fourth time
Take one of the "newer" ideas and list 6 to 12 "even more newer" uses and ways to improve them.
Friday-Fifth time
Take one of the "even more newer" ideas and be as imaginative and open-minded, future-oriented as you can be and list 6 to 12 "breakaway from" ideas.

Lastly compare the first 6 to 12 to the last 6 to 12. Notice how they are different.

Take your next 7 days and be more creative.
